primavera pasta

Simple pasta primavera with roasted vegetables and dressed in a light sauce using the pasta cooking water, extra virgin olive oil, lemon zest and a little Parmesan cheese. I use a medley of vegetables, and you can feel free to change them up depending on what is in season! This is a great way to keep your primavera exciting and delicious. If you want to add some extra protein, throw in some quick lemon chicken or grilled shrimp skewers.

Pasta Primavera

This creamy pasta primavera is a quick and easy 15 minute dinner that&#039;s packed with fresh veggies, with a creamy, cheesy sauce.

15 minute creamy pasta primavera

185 g (~ 6 1/2 oz) pasta

75 g (~ 1/2 cup) frozen sweetcorn

spinach

tbsp oil

asparagus

onion, (thinly sliced)

garlic

tomatoes, (diced)

tbsp garlic and herb cream cheese

cheddar cheese, (grated (~ 1/2 cup when grated))

water ((you can use the pasta cooking water))

Salt

Add the pasta, frozen sweetcorn, and frozen spinach to a pan with plenty of water, and boil until cooked al dente - around 12-14 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat, and add the chopped asparagus, onion, and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes, until the vegetables are beginning to soften, then add the diced tomatoes.

After another 2 minutes, add the cream cheese, grated cheddar, and a splash of water. Cook for a couple of minutes until the cheese has melted and combined to produce a silky sauce.

Drain the cooked pasta, add it to the pan with the vegetables and sauce, and mix well to combine. Season to taste, and serve.

Hi Becca, just wanted to say how much my husband &amp; I enjoyed your 15min creamy pasta primavera for our evening meal tonight. It was so easy, quick &amp; absolutely delicious. So much nicer than sauce from a jar. Thank you. ☺️

I would have given it more stars but it is definitely not a 15 minute  recipe with chopping, boiling,  &amp; cooking it took more like 45 minutes.  However, it is very yummy!!!

This recipe is fantastic! My boyfriend loves it. I just added a basil, Philadelphia and cashew pesto as I needed to use it And a tin of tomatoes as I didn't have any fresh. The whole pasta turned a beautiful golden colour. 
Partner is lactose intolerant so just letting other cooks know it works well with lactose free Philadelphia, cashew and basil pesto.

Love this recipe, so easy to make and clear plates every time!

Loved this recipe!! so easy to make, will be making it again very soon +++

I just made this tonight using the veg leftover in my fridge - a red bell pepper, mangetout, and a carrot. It's still absolutely delicious! Thanks so much for this great and versatile recipe, Becca. :)
