Pasta Primavera
1/2 lb angel hair pasta or spaghetti
1 bunch broccoli — about 1 heaping cup of florets
1 zucchini, diced
4 asparagus spears
1/2 cup peas, fresh or frozen
1/2 cup snow peas
3 minced garlic cloves
3 Roma or other paste tomatoes, seeded and diced
12 basil leaves, chopped
4 tbs butter
1/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
SaltBlanch the broccoli, asparagus, snow peas
Add the asparagus and boil another min. Add the snow peas and boil for 30 more sec.
Remove all the vegetables and plunge them into the ice water. Once they’re cool, drain in a colander.
Sauté zucchini and garlic, then add tomatoes
In a large sauté pan, heat the butter over medium-high heat. When the butter is hot, add the garlic and zucchini and sauté 1 min.
Add broth, cream, blanched vegetables, peas
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and turn the heat to high to bring it to a boil.
Turn the heat down until the cream-chicken broth mixture is just simmering, not boiling.
Add Parmesan
Boil the angel hair pasta
If using spaghetti, start cooking it before sautéing the garlic and zucchini. Angel hair will only need 1-2 min to cook, vermicelli or spaghetti can take 8-12 min.
As soon as the pasta is done, transfer it with tongs into the sauce and stir to combine.
Add the basil now, and taste for salt. Add salt if needed. Grind some black pepper over everything and serve immediately. Serves 4
