Primavera means spring in Italian. Indeed, this dish looks and smells like spring. And all thanks to the vegetables that are present in this dish. In season, you should take fresh vegetables, but in winter, frozen ones will do just fine.
The main point that you should pay attention to is that pasta does not need to be digested. On the contrary, they should be slightly undercooked. Be careful with vegetables too – they do not need to be overcooked, they must retain the structure of fresh.
This dish does not require sauces, so familiar in Italian cuisine, because spaghetti is delicious without it.
