There's something incredibly satisfying about a dish that's both easy to make and packed with goodness. This One-Pot Pasta Primavera is exactly that! It's a vibrant, vegetarian meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a light lunch. Imagine twirling your fork around perfectly cooked pasta, nestled among a medley of colorful, fresh vegetables, all simmered in a flavorful broth. Mmm, sounds good, right?
What I adore about this recipe is its simplicity. Throw everything into one pot, let it simmer, and voila! Minimal cleanup and maximum flavor! I remember the first time I made this; I was so skeptical that it would actually work. Usually pasta needs so much water. But I was pleasantly surprised! The pasta absorbs all that flavorful broth, creating a creamy, luscious sauce that coats every strand. I even add a little bit of extra garlic, because what's life without garlic, am I right?.
This pasta primavera is not just a recipe; it's a blank canvas for your culinary creativity. Feel free to experiment with different vegetables, herbs, and cheeses to create your own signature version. This recipe is so versatile, and even if you mess up, it'll probably still taste good! I sometimes add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat, or a dollop of pesto for extra flavor. The possibilities are endless!

🍽 Ingredients
đź“– Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients and equipment. Having everything prepped and ready will make the cooking process smoother and more enjoyable.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the vegetable broth, uncooked pasta, chopped carrots, broccoli florets, sliced bell pepper, peas, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Make sure the pasta is evenly distributed in the pot.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the lemon juice and chopped fresh parsley. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. If the pasta seems a little dry, add a splash of extra vegetable broth or olive oil.
- If you're using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the pasta before serving. This adds a lovely savory note that complements the fresh vegetables.
- Serve immediately. This dish is best enjoyed fresh, while the vegetables are still vibrant and the pasta is perfectly al dente.
đź“ť Notes
- For extra flavor, sauté the garlic in a tablespoon of olive oil before adding the other ingredients.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
- Feel free to substitute vegetables based on your preference or what's in season.
