Fettuccine Primavera image

Adapted from Joy of Cooking--this is a terrific dish!! I used spinach fettuccine to make this even more beautiful. I was pretty free with the veggies--added some edamame, artichokes, spring onions and zucchini besides what's listed here. I added 25 minute prep time for all the chopping.

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 quarts water
2 tablespoons salt
6 asparagus, tough ends trimmed and finely diced, except for tips, which should be left whole

Overall, this was a good recipe, but I think it could be improved with a few tweaks. I would add more garlic and herbs to the sauce, and I would sauté the vegetables for a shorter amount of time. I would also serve it with a side of crusty bread to s

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very heavy and creamy. I think I would have preferred a lighter sauce, like a simple olive oil and lemon sauce.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sauce turned out a bit watery. I'm not sure what I did wrong. Maybe I didn't let the sauce simmer for long enough.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more garlic and herbs. The vegetables were also a bit overcooked. I would recommend sautéing them for a shorter amount of time so that they retain their crunch.

I'm not a huge fan of mushrooms, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway, and I'm so glad I did! The mushrooms added a really nice earthy flavor to the dish. I also loved the addition of sun-dried tomatoes. They gave the sauce a bit of a tangy

This dish was a breeze to make and tasted like it came straight from an Italian restaurant. The asparagus and peas added a nice pop of color and flavor to the pasta. I served it with a side of crusty bread to soak up all the delicious sauce. Yum!

I'm not usually a fan of vegetarian pasta dishes, but this fettuccine primavera changed my mind. The sauce was incredibly rich and flavorful, with just the right amount of tanginess from the lemon. The vegetables were cooked perfectly, still retainin
