Pasta Primavera is one of my favorite recipes when spring rolls around. It’s light, tasty, and easy to add a protein if you want.

It also makes a nice side dish. And is perfect when you want to use up vegetables that are on their way out.

It’s also great leftover!

For kids who don’t want the veggies or prefer them on the side, you can serve it like it is here. My kids like to add their own veggies. But I only do this if I have time.

I’ve been making this for years and thought it was finally time to share it. Actually, this is replacing an old recipe I no longer make.

Enjoy!

    This looks great. Perfect for a summer dinner or a weekend picnic. You could easily add chicken too!

    Nice post – we have the same conversation every night with our two boys about icecream. Sometimes they win, sometimes they don’t!

      Thanks Erica. Welcome! I’m not a huge cook either which is why the meals I post are simple (and healthy).

    This is one of my daughter’s absolute favorite dinners. Since I just went back to look up the recipe for about the 100th time I thought I’d let you know how much we have enjoyed this one. Thanks so much! =)
