Best Spring Primavera Recipes
SPRING PRIMAVERA
I found this recipe on a bunch of fresh Dole asparagus. We like lots of veggies, so I added in a zucchini and some cremini mushrooms. I also stirred in some fresh parsley and oregano before serving.

INSALATA PRIMAVERA (ITALIAN SPRING SALAD)
This is from Luigi Carnacina's "Great Italian Cooking". He calls it Summer Salad, which I think is only half-true. Any salad recipe calling for fresh asparagus means Spring has sprung to me. This doubles well and is a tasty and colorful addition to a lunch buffet. The recipe says to use 1 cup of vinaigrette but I've never used that much. So drizzle it on with caution and use the rest for future salads. And try and cook the asparagus, beans and artichoke hearts to the "al dente" (8 minutes and poke) point so it doesn't become Mushy Spring Salad.

Steps:
- 1. Cook the pasta, while the pasta is cooking, begin to thinly slice the carrots, break off the tough part of the asparagus and cut the asparagus in half, cut the mushrooms in half, dice the onion, grate the garlic and ginger.
- 2. Heat a large pan add the olive oil, once hot begin adding the vegetables as follow, first the onion, next the garlic, ginger, once you smell the fragrance of the ginger add the carrots and asparagus stirring until cooked.
- 3. Next add the spinach, tomatoes and mushrooms to the vegetables, season with the seasoned salt. Cook until the spinach is wilted.
- 4. Strain the pasta reserving a cup of pasta water in case you need it, I left the pasta in the strainer and used the pasta pot for the next step
- 5. Add the butter and flour to the pot making a rogue, add the wine and broth I used chicken broth, if making vegetarian use vegetable stock, whisk until bubbly and a nice sauce is formed, add the Parmesan cheese, the pasta and cooked vegetables to the sauce, season with pepper if needed, mix together and serve.
- 6. I do not measure, I add and taste, some of the amounts may be off, please us your judgement, you can use any vegetable with this light sauce, have fun and enjoy the spring!!
