Pasta is often thought of as a heavy, cold-weather meal, but these spring pasta ideas prove that pasta can be delicious all through the spring too! It’s amazing what fresh veggies, seafood, and light, bright flavors can do to these spring pasta recipes!
Fresh herbs and veggies are one of the quickest ways to take a pasta dish from winter to spring. Basil, spinach, tomatoes, lemon, asparagus, zucchini—all are perfectly at home in a pasta dish. Since the world is awakening this time of year, it makes sense to use nature’s bounty to jazz up dinner. It adds a lightness to any recipe—especially a spring pasta dish!
If you ask us, seafood always has a place in a pasta dish, too—while a classic meatball or ground beef is delicious, crab, lobster, shrimp, and the like always feel lighter and fresher! Consider Paula’s Tomato and Crab Spaghetti or her Linguine with Candied Tomatoes and Shrimp with a Wine & Butter Sauce—they’re just begging to be served al fresco on the back patio, under the warm sunshine. The seafood adds a decadent touch without weighing you down.
So, next time you’re looking for something delicious for dinner, give Paula’s spring pasta ideas a whirl. They prove that pasta can be perfect for spring when you keep it fresh and vibrant! Which spring pasta recipe will you try first? Let us know in the comments below!
