Ingredients for Angel Hair Primavera

  • Broccoli
  • Carrot
  • Red Pepper
  • 8 ounces angel hair pasta
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Chicken Broth
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • Sun Dried Tomatoes

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

How to Make Angel Hair Primavera

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add angel hair pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water before draining.
  2. While pasta cooks, steam broccoli, carrots, and snap peas until tender-crisp (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté gently until fragrant (about 30 seconds), being careful not to burn it.
  4. Add chicken stock to the pan and bring to a simmer.
  5. Add the drained pasta, steamed vegetables, basil, lemon zest, Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and parsley to the pan.
  6. Toss gently to combine. Add a little pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
