Pasta Primavera

Pasta Primavera is a simple pasta dish filled with spring vegetables and topped with feta cheese. A dried italian seasoning nicely coats the whole-wheat noodles and crisp-tender vegetables in this vegetarian pasta dish. 

This recipe is not only delicious but it is quick to make and healthy. I used roasted edamame pods to get the smoky flavor to the dish. This recipe is the healthier version of the classic dish as I didn’t use any heavy cream in this recipe.

• Farfalle Pasta

• Crumbled Feta cheese
