Primavera means spring in Italian and while it is not spring now, the fall colours have inspired us to put together this delightful pasta dish. This is one vegetarian meal that will make you forget about meat, at least for a day. The dish consists of crispy vegetables, pasta that still has a “bite” to it, a tomato salad that is amazing on its own, extra virgin olive oil, and a generous sprinkling of parmesan cheese.

We make pasta primavera using different types of vegetables but this combination is our favourite. While there are some who like to add cream to pasta primavera, we prefer to keep it simple. This way, it is light and tastes very fresh.

Aside from it being delicious, what makes this dish a favourite is the fact that is so quick to prepare. We chop the vegetables while the pasta water comes to a boil, prepare the sauce while the pasta is cooking, then finish cooking in the amount of time it takes to set the table. All that remains is to sit down and savour this most satisfying meal.

      Waa ku mahadsan tahay salaanta qaaliga ah iyo ducada. Reexaan waa caleenta sawirkaan ka muuqata xawaash.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Chicken-Parmesan-1.jp. Baqduunis wuu ka-duwan yahay kabsarada, wuu ka-caleema weyn yahay, caraftana isku mid ma-ahan. Afka Ingiriiska waxaa loo yaqaanaa “parsley.”
