Yield Makes 4 (main course) servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

For fresh pasta
1 cup matzo cake meal
2 large eggs plus 1 large yolk
3 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons olive oil
Potato starch for dusting
For vegetables
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 pound asparagus, trimmed and thinly sliced, leaving tips whole
1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise, then thinly sliced crosswise
1 cup frozen peas (optional)
6 scallions, thinly sliced, keeping white and pale green parts separate from greens
1/3 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano plus some for serving
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • Make pasta:
  • Stir together matzo meal and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Make a well in center and add eggs and yolk, then lightly beat eggs with a fork. Add water and oil and stir until dough just comes together. Knead dough 5 or 6 times. Form into a 5-inch square and put on a work surface dusted with potato starch, then dust dough with potato starch. Let stand 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, dust a large baking pan with some potato starch. Quarter dough. Roll out each piece on a surface dusted with potato starch until as thin as possible (1/16 inch thick) and about 10 by 8 inches, dusting rolling pin and surface of dough as needed. (If dough tears, patch it.) Using a pizza wheel or sharp knife, cut into long 1/2-inch-wide strips and transfer to pan in 1 layer along with any broken pieces of dough.
  • Cook in a pasta pot of boiling salted water (2 tablespoons salt for 6 quarts water) until just tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain pasta in a colander.
  • Sautée vegetables while pasta cooks:
  • Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then sautée asparagus, zucchini, peas (if using), white and pale green parts of scallions, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Finish pasta:
  • Add 1/2 cup reserved cooking water to vegetables and cook, shaking skillet occasionally, until vegetables are just tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in pasta and scallion greens until just coated with sauce. Remove from heat and stir in cheese and zest. Stir in more reserved water if desired. Serve with additional parmesan.

This was a waste of time and ingredients. The dish was flavorless and the pasta was mushy.

Not a fan of this recipe. The sauce was too thick and the vegetables were overcooked.

This recipe was a bit bland. I think it could have used more herbs or spices.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more herbs or spices. However, the pasta was cooked perfectly and the vegetables were fresh.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I really enjoyed this pasta primavera. The vegetables were roasted to perfection and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. I would definitely make this again, even if it's not Passover.

This dish was a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some asparagus, broccoli, and carrots that I needed to use up, and this recipe was the perfect way to do it. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful.

I love pasta primavera, and this Passover version was just as good as the traditional recipe. The vegetables were fresh and flavorful, and the sauce was light and creamy. I would definitely make this again.

This Passover Pasta Primavera was a hit with my family! The flavors were fresh and vibrant, and the pasta was cooked perfectly. I especially loved the addition of artichoke hearts and sun-dried tomatoes.
