Description

This Fetuccine Primavera is a celebration of fresh vegetables and simple, elegant flavors. The dish combines tender fresh fettuccine with a colorful medley of broccoli, cauliflower, and asparagus (or green beans), all tossed in a light olive oil sauce infused with garlic, red pepper, and fresh basil. The addition of toasted silvered almonds adds a delightful crunch and nutty depth, while Parmesan cheese brings a savory richness that ties the ingredients together. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a light lunch, this recipe highlights the natural sweetness of the vegetables. It is versatile enough to adapt to seasonal produce changes and serves as a satisfying main course that feels both comforting and fresh.

Directions

  1. Steam the broccoli, cauliflower, and asparagus (or green beans) for 5-8 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove and set aside.
  2. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the fresh fettuccine and cook for 5-7 minutes (or dried pasta for 12-15 minutes) until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
  3. While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-5 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Add the chopped carrot, red pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  6. Return the drained pasta to the skillet or transfer to a large serving bowl. Add the steamed broccoli mixture, vegetable stock (or water), basil, and black pepper.
  7. Toss everything together gently to combine and coat the pasta evenly.
  8. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta and toss again until melted and incorporated.
  9. Arrange on a serving platter and sprinkle with toasted silvered almonds before serving.
