“I never thought a pasta filled with vegetables would be really delicious”, that is my initial reaction when I had a primavera before as the one I tried was really tasty and the vegetables were fresh and crisp.

Pasta Primavera is an Italian pasta loaded with vegetables, having said that there is no real rules on what vegetables you can use in this dish and it all widely varied depending on the local vegetables available on your region. Commonly broccoli, zucchini, onion and mushrooms are the main stay together with a creamy cheesy sauce made out of a mixture of cream, Parmigiano-Reggiano and/or Pecorino-Romano.
