This Pasta Primavera is just delicious! Our favorite creamy pasta dish that is packed with yummy veggies.
I’ve always wanted to have a dish that’s mine. A dish so yummy that I might get invited to pot lucks just so I’ll bring my special dish. haha. This Pasta Primavera Recipe belongs to our aunt Cindy and it’s always a treat when we are lucky enough to have her make it for us. Especially if it’s served along side her amazing homemade pizza!

This looks yummy, and perfect timing for end of summer. The zucchini are rolling in, and I’m always looking for new ways to use it up:) A cup of cream in the recipe is also pretty tempting!
