EASY PASTA PRIMAVERA RECIPE



Easy Pasta Primavera Recipe image

Simple pasta primavera with roasted vegetables and dressed in a light sauce using the pasta cooking water, extra virgin olive oil, lemon zest and a little Parmesan cheese. I use a medley of vegetables, and you can feel free to change them up depending on what is in season! This is a great way to keep your primavera exciting and delicious. If you want to add some extra protein, throw in some quick lemon chicken or grilled shrimp skewers.
