Pasta Primavera Recipe

Pasta Primavera is a perfect dish for any time of year, but especially for summer.  While it does require turning on the stove, it's really a great way to incorporate market vegetables.

I made this the other day because I had so many wonderful fresh vegetables and I wanted to use them to make a simple weeknight dinner.

It also comes together pretty quickly - less than 30 minutes. I needed a quick meal as it was an especially busy week. I went to a movie preview (more about that soon) and also helped move my son into an apartment. Oh and it was my birthday weekend too!

Anyhow, back to the recipe. I love using fresh basil, but you can use basil leaves too. Always wash all your vegetables, even if you do not eat the skin, because you do not want to cross-contaminate when you slice through the skin.

I stir fry the vegetables,

and add some wonderful tomatoes. I used cherry tomatoes because that is what I had in the house, but you can use chopped Roma or heirloom or hothouse tomatoes too.

Once the vegetables are cooked, you just add them to the pasta and add the cheese.

    That looks really good! My favorite way to eat veggies is to mix them in with something else 🙂

    Oh I miss my zucchini this year I didn't plant because I thought I was moving and here we are almost August and the move hasn't happened. This year I'm planting no matter what! For now it warrants a trip to the farmers market!

      I love zucchini Sonia and how cool that you have a garden! I usually go to the farmer's market when I can because it is so fresh!
