Cooking Tips

• Use a variety of colorful vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, carrots, and cherry tomatoes for a visually appealing dish.
• Feel free to add protein like grilled chicken or shrimp to make it a heartier meal.
• For a lighter version, use whole wheat or gluten-free pasta and reduce the amount of cheese.
• To make the dish creamier, add a splash of heavy cream or a dollop of cream cheese to the sauce.

Storage and Serving

• Pasta Primavera is best served immediately while it is still hot and fresh.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the leftovers in a skillet with a little olive oil or in the microwave.
• Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs before serving.
