Why This Pasta Primavera Is a Weeknight Game-Changer

Pasta primavera is beloved for its rainbow of veggies and adaptable, crowd-pleasing nature, but traditional versions can mean juggling multiple pots and pans. This recipe pares it down to one pot for ultimate simplicity, while still delivering a fresh, creamy sauce and perfectly cooked vegetables. It’s infinitely flexible—swap in your favorite seasonal produce—and so fast, you’ll have barely any time to set the table.

Prep Your Veggies Like a Pro

The beauty of pasta primavera lies in its medley of vegetables. Get your prep done in a breeze by using the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper to make quick, uniform cuts—think bell peppers, zucchini, carrots, and red onion. This doesn’t just save time; it also ensures even cooking for all your veggies.

Once chopped, set vegetables aside and have your pasta, seasoning, and cream ready for efficient cooking.

The Creamiest One-Pot Pasta Primavera, Step by Step

Start by sautéing your aromatics in a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Once fragrant, toss in your veggies and sauté until just tender. In goes the pasta, with broth and seasonings, and everything simmers together, absorbing maximum flavor. Finish with cream and Parmesan for that luscious, silky sauce, with everything coming together in one harmonious, flavor-packed pot.

If you opt to sauté in a skillet, the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch offers even heating and frustration-free clean-up—perfect for busy weeknights.
