Summer is such a great time to make this delicious Pasta Primavera, but it works for any season. What makes this dish so special is that you can check out your local farmer’s markets for seasonal vegetables to add to the pasta and make it your own. I’ve given you great choices, but you can pick whatever’s freshest or you’re in the mood for and enjoy!
