Loved this! Light and bursting with veggies! Got me excited for Spring! Added 2 Chicken Breasts for the carnivores in the family – but other than that – made this as posted. Will make again. The key is the light sautéing of the veggies – sort of an Italian Stir Fry!

Without a doubt, every time I make this recipe, every single person in my family clears their plate. And that includes a 2 and 4-year old. I love that I can just empty our veggie drawer, and make something delicious in such a short time. I’ve made this with the cream/half and half combo, all cream, cream/skim milk, and skim/half and half. I just use whatever we have. It’s always delicious. I do add a pinch of nutmeg to the sauce, and I season each layer of vegetables. YUM!

This was REALLY good and made a TON. I only had fat free half and half and no heavy cream, so I made some substitutions and thought it was going to be a total failure, but it all came together so well in the end and was really really delicious. Even my veggie-hating friend and two teenage boys couldn’t get enough of it.

I was excited to make this one when the recipe was first posted, it looks beautiful! But, all that heavy cream, butter, cheese, and oil did a number on my tummy. I’ll probably look for a pasta primavera recipe with less heaviness next time. That said, I love the flavor of the fresh basil, and the veggie cooking tips were very helpful!

This was good but a bit too much cream for my tastes. I think a white wine, garlic butter sauce might be better.

This was amazing! It does make quite a bit, but the leftovers are tasty.

I LOVE all the fresh veggies in it and the sauce …. there are no words for sauce that good. The chopped basil really gives it a great taste. Now unlike Marlboro Man, my hubby Ross did love it!! It made a huge portion so we were able to enjoy it for a few days.

I made this tonight and it was delicious, and so wonderful as we bound into spring! It made a LOT of pasta, however. This was for a dinner for 3, and I have enough left over to last for several days, lol. No problem, I will enjoy it, and I intend to freeze some as well. But the recipe could easily be halved if anyone wants to make just enough for a small family.

The recipe is not overdone with sauce, just enough to pull the ingredients together. Very good!

Mmmmm this was good. I have been trying to make pasta primavera for years and it was always missing something. This was very good and complete. The best pasta primavera I have ever tried. Thanks Much Ree for sharing!!
