This baked primavera pasta is a celebration of all the best spring produce, vibrantly green and inviting. The pasta boils away while the veggies and sauce work their magic in the oven. Then everything joins together and is blanketed in a cream sauce that feels like putting on a light jacket on a spring day: It does just what you need it to, no more, no less. With hints of white wine, fresh mint, and lemon, this sauce lets the bounty of veggies be the star.

This recipe was excerpted from ‘Let’s Eat' by Dan Pelosi, one of our top cookbooks of 2023. Buy the full book on Amazon. And for dessert, how about a Rainbow Cookie Loaf Cake?
