Spaghetti Primavera Recipes

SPAGHETTI PRIMAVERA

Steps:

• Bring 1 gallon of water with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to a boil. Let simmer until ready to cook the pasta.
• In a 1 1/2- to 2-quart saucepan, bring a quart of water with 1/2 tablespoon salt to a boil. Add the fresh peas and cook for 3 minutes. Drain, cool the peas under cold running water and drain again. Set the peas aside.
• In the same saucepan, combine the heavy cream, mascarpone, butter, Parmesan cheese, a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper. Cook slowly over low heat for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• In a large skillet, place 2 tablespoons olive oil and toast the pine nuts over high heat until light brown. Add the mushrooms, zucchini, broccoli, green beans, asparagus and jalapeno pepper, and cook, stirring, for 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the peas and set aside.
• Warm the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and basil and cook slowly for 2 minutes. Do not allow the garlic to color. Add the tomatoes, salt and pepper to taste, and cook another 3 to 4 minutes. Mix with the sauteed vegetables.
• Just before serving, add a tablespoon of salt to the boiling water, plunge the spaghetti into the water, stir and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until al dente. Drain and return the spaghetti to the pot. Add the reserved Parmesan cream sauce, the chives and half of the sauteed vegetable mixture. Toss well for two minutes and add a little additional Parmesan cheese if the sauce needs thickening.
• Pour the spaghetti mixture into a warm bowl. Sprinkle the remaining vegetables over it. Decorate with basil leaves and serve grated Parmesan cheese on the side.

PASTA PRIMAVERA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• On a large heavy baking sheet, toss all of the vegetables with the oil, salt, pepper, and dried herbs to coat. Transfer half of the vegetable mixture to another heavy large baking sheet and arrange evenly over the baking sheets. Bake until the carrots are tender and the vegetables begin to brown, stirring after the first 10 minutes, about 20 minutes total.
• Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, tender but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
• Toss the pasta with the vegetable mixtures in a large bowl to combine. Toss with the cherry tomatoes and enough reserved cooking liquid to moisten. Season the pasta with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and serve immediately.

PRIMAVERA SPAGHETTI SQUASH RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400ºF (200ºC).
• With a sharp knife, slice the squash in half. If the squash is too tough, puncture in several places forming a dotted line around the squash. Microwave for 3-5 minutes to soften. Allow to cool before cutting in half.
• Scoop out the seeds, brush with oil, and sprinkle with salt, and pepper. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a fork can easily pierce the skin.
• Meanwhile, in a pan combine oil, garlic, and onion over medium heat, and sautè until onions are translucent.
• Add mushrooms and cook for 3 minutes. Add the broccoli, asparagus, squash, tomatoes, salt, and pepper and cook until almost cooked through.
• Add the milk/ milk alternative until warmed through. Add the vegetarian Parmesan and mix until evenly spread throughout vegetables. Add the lemon juice and stir to combine.
• Remove squash from the oven, with a fork pull at the edges to produce that stringy "spaghetti" quality.
• In the pan combine "spaghetti" with vegetables. Return to the squash and top with Parmesan.
• Enjoy!

PASTA PRIMAVERA

Steps:

• Gently melt the butter with the parsley, chives and mint and set aside in a warm place. Prepare all the vegetables: shell the peas, wash the carrots and trim away any leaves but leave a short green stalk in place (the stalk is edible but it is also there to show the vegetable is freshly harvested!), thickly slice the courgettes and trim the green beans.
• Bring 2 large pans of water to the boil (one for the pasta, one for the veg). Lightly salt the water in one of the pans, add the pasta to it and cook until al dente (10-12 minutes or according to the cooking instructions on the packet). While the pasta cooks, add the carrots to the other pan and cook for 2 minutes. Next throw in the peas, green beans and courgettes and continue to cook for 3 minutes. Drain both the pasta and the vegetables well. Return the pasta to the hot pan with a splash of olive oil, half the herb butter and the lemon zest and juice. Return the vegetables to their pan, toss with the rest of the herb butter and season well with salt and pepper.
• Spoon the pasta on to serving plates, grind some black pepper over and serve with the vegetables on top. Scatter on as much basil as you like and serve straight away.
