Notes

Pasta primavera is best served warm. You can enjoy it as a main dish or pair it with a side salad or crusty bread for a complete meal. For storage, place leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of olive oil.
