Here is my interpretation of Pasta Primavera based on what I had in the fridge
Vegetarian pasta at its best!
Cream and garlic together with chicken stock is an incredibly good combination, but feel free to add a little lemon for an even fresher taste.
I steam the vegetables for a short while before I fry them lightly, broccoli and asparagus need a little more warmth and love.
Pasta Primavera is not actually Italian, but originated in New York in the 70’s.
Read more about the background of the recipe on Wikipedia and see the link to the original recipe in the New York Times, subscription required, but it’s free.
