Linguine Primavera Preparation

  • In a large pasta pot bring salted water to a boil.
  • Add the Linguine and cook based upon the package instructions.
  • While the pasta is cooking, scoop out about 1-1/2 cups of the pasta cooking water and put aside.
  • In a large skillet (large enough to hold the vegetables and cooked Linguine) melt the butter.
  • Add the sliced vegetables, cover and simmer until tender.
  • Add the heavy cream, peas, and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.
  • Stir in the herbs.
  • If while simmering the sauce it becomes too thick, add some of the reserved pasta cooking water.
  • When the Linguine is tender, drain and add to the vegetables and cream sauce. Then season the Linguine primavera with salt and pepper. 
  • This meal presents nicely in a warming dish on low heat. Top with additional fresh herbs, freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano, and the toasted pine nuts.
