EASY PASTA PRIMAVERA RECIPE
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.

Steps:
- Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until very al dente, about 2 minutes less than package directions.
- Meanwhile, heat 1/4 cup oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium. Add garlic and cook, stirring often and pressing down on cloves so they make good contact with the bottom of the pot, until golden and soft, about 5 minutes. Add parsley and cook, stirring occasionally, until parsley releases some of its liquid and slightly darkens in color, about 5 minutes. Toss in olives and red pepper flakes and cook another minute to let the flavors meld.
- Using tongs, transfer pasta to pot with sauce and add butter and 1/2 cup pasta cooking liquid. Cook, tossing and adding more pasta liquid as needed, until each strand of pasta is coated and pasta is al dente, about 4 minutes. Remove pasta from heat and toss in basil, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Taste and season with salt as needed.
- Divide pasta among bowls and drizzle with more oil.
