I'm showing you how to make
Pasta Primavera
This classic pasta is full of spring vegetables.
It's super tasty, light, and it will chase
away
all of your winter blues and have you ready
for spring.
We'll start over on the stove.
Pour a pound of penne pasta into a pot of
salted
boiling water and cook it according to the
package directions which will take somewhere
between 8 and 9 minutes.
In the meantime we're going to get our vegetables
ready.
Pour about 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive
oil
into a large skillet
Then we'll add in some of our spring vegetables
starting with half of a red onion
and you want to slice it into thin slices
Get that into the pan
along with 1 cup of asparagus
and you want to trim that into little 1 to
2 inch pieces
Let this saute for about 3 to 4 minutes
just until they start to get a little bit
tender
Then we'll add in 1 cup of frozen peas
1 cup of halved cherry tomatoes
and 1 cup of artichoke hearts
And saute these for a few minutes as well.
Once your peas and artichokes are warmed through
it's time to add in the final little bit of
flavoring
with about 6 to 8 cloves of crushed garlic
I like to have a nice strong garlic flavor
in this pasta
and it only needs about 1 minute to cook
Now at this point your pasta should be done
so go ahead and drain it
and pour the pasta directly in with the vegetables
and I like to add in a couple more
tablespoons of olive oil
3 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice
and 1/2 cup of freshly grated parmesan cheese
And toss this all together
Season it with a little bit of salt and pepper
to taste
and you are ready to eat!
Serve it up hot garnished with a little bit
of
freshly chopped parsley.
