- Buon giorno a tutti. In this episode, Spring has sprung, and Nonna Mia, la nonna di tutti (everyone's grandmother), is inspired to make pasta primavera. Primavera literally means Spring! So, unsurprisingly, this is a pasta dish that calls for a lot of vegetables. Here, Nonna makes pasta for 6, and uses just over 10 cups of fresh vegetables to a pound of pasta.
Apart from vegetables and the pasta, you will need extra virgin olive oil, garlic/onions, basil, 1/2 cup of cream and freshly grated cheese.
The beauty of this dish is that you can use whatever vegetables that are locally in season - whatever vegetables you love. So, use Nonna's as a guide, and augment to suit your own favourite veggies.
To a cold pan, she adds 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil, 3-4 cloves of sliced garlic, 1/2 a red onion, sliced finely and a pinch of hot chilies - to suit your taste. She lets that cook about 2 minutes.
She starts with one red and one yellow pepper because they take a little longer to cook. That's just over 2 cups of sliced peppers. Next one zucchini and 5 mushrooms, sliced are incorporated.
Nonna puts a well-salted pot on the boil and selects her pasta of choice - here she uses casareccia.
A cup of sugar snaps and 10 sliced asparagus are added, and she continues to sauté. Toward the end, she adds 2 cups of cherry tomatoes, and a cup of green onions / scallions.
Cook the pasta a minute less than instructed and add it into the vegetables. You want it to absorb the flavours and finish cooking together. Nonna adds two 'copinos' ladles of pasta water - you may need more - it will depend on how much liquid you prefer.
She seasons with sea-salt and freshly cracked pepper and adds in 1/2 cup of cream, allowing it to simmer for the sauce to thicken up a bit. She then adds a big handful of fresh basil and 1/2 cup of freshly grated Grana Padana cheese, transfers to the platter, and tops again with more Grana Padana.
Buon appetito!

Nonna I didn't know about pasta primavera, I think I never tasted it, but it looks REALLY tasty. Besides that it's so colourful 😃☀️❤
Buon giorno caro Francesco..yes, pasta primavera is more of a North American/Italian dish. It was made famous through a 1977 article in the New York Times after appearing in a NYC restaurant, La Cirque. Buon appetito! It is so delicious. Vibrant!
@@nonnamia7890 interesting. Thanx nonna for the news 😃👍❤
