Fresh Vegetable Medley

One of the highlights of our Pasta Primavera dish is the fresh Vegetable Medley that makes it truly burst with flavor and nutrition. We use a combination of colorful veggies such as bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes, all sautéed to perfection. The key to getting the most out of your vegetable medley is to choose fresh and in-season produce, and to not overcook them. You want the veggies to still have a bit of crunch to provide a contrast in texture to the Creamy Sauce. For an added dose of nutrition, consider adding even more veggies to the mix, such as broccoli or carrots.

Italian-style Pasta Dish

Pasta Primavera is a classic Italian dish that traditionally includes fresh pasta, cream or cheese-based sauce, and a variety of vegetables. Our version of this dish stays true to the original recipe, with a few tweaks to make it healthier and even more flavorful. To cook the pasta, be sure to follow the package instructions carefully, and avoid overcooking it so that it stays al dente (firm to the bite). For the sauce, we use a combination of light cream cheese, milk, and Parmesan cheese to create a rich and creamy texture without all the calories of a traditional cream-based sauce. To take your Italian-style Pasta Primavera dish to the next level, consider adding some fresh herbs such as basil or parsley, as well as some red pepper flakes for added spice.

Creamy Sauce and Cheese

No Pasta Primavera dish is complete without a creamy and cheesy sauce that complements the freshness of the veggies and the simple yet satisfying taste of the pasta. Our Creamy Sauce is made with light cream cheese, milk, and Parmesan cheese, creating a balance between creaminess and tanginess. To make the sauce even more flavorful, consider adding some garlic or onion powder, as well as some black pepper. But be careful not to overdo it with the spices, as the fresh taste of the veggies and the pasta should still be the star of the show. And for the cheese lovers out there, feel free to sprinkle some extra Parmesan on top of your pasta before serving.

Perfectly Cooked Pasta

Cooking the pasta to perfection is crucial when it comes to making a great Pasta Primavera dish. You want the pasta to be firm to the bite (al dente), as this will provide a contrast in texture to the tender veggies and the Creamy Sauce. To achieve this, be sure to cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water, stirring occasionally, and following the package instructions carefully. Don't forget to drain the pasta properly and rinse it with cold water to stop the cooking process. And if you're feeling adventurous, why not try using different types of pasta, such as whole grain or gluten-free, to add some variety to your dish?

Low-Calorie Option

At only 250 calories per serving, our Pasta Primavera dish is a great option for those who are watching their calorie intake but still want a filling and satisfying meal. By using light cream cheese and milk instead of heavy cream, we were able to reduce the overall calorie count while still maintaining a rich and creamy texture. In addition, the fresh veggies and the pasta provide a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making it a balanced and Nutritious Meal. But remember, while our Pasta Primavera may be low in calories, portion control is always key to maintaining a healthy diet.

Easy to Prepare

One of the best things about our Pasta Primavera dish is how easy it is to prepare. With just a few simple steps and ingredients, you can have a delicious and Nutritious Meal on the table in no time. First, cook the pasta according to the package instructions. While the pasta is cooking, sauté your fresh veggies in a bit of oil until they're tender. Then, whisk together your Creamy Sauce ingredients in a separate bowl, and add it to the veggies once they're done cooking. Finally, add the cooked pasta to the sauce and veggies, and toss everything together until all the ingredients are well combined. And that's it - now sit back, relax, and enjoy your homemade Pasta Primavera!
