One-Pot Skinny Pasta Primavera
One-Pot Skinny Pasta Primavera cooks broken spaghetti with fresh vegetables like leek, asparagus, broccoli, mushrooms, kale sprouts, and peas in almond milk and vegetable broth. Simmered with herbs, garlic, and spices, it creates a creamy, veggie-packed pasta sauce that thickens as it cools, topped with lemon, Parmesan, and dill.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces spaghetti noodles , broken in half
- 1 leek , cleaned and sliced thinly
- ½ pound asparagus
- ¼ pound broccoli florets
- 1 cup brown mushrooms , stemmed and sliced
- 4 cloves garlic , peeled and minced
- 3 cups almond milk Almond Breeze Original Unsweetened
- ½ cup vegetable broth
- ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 6 fresh thyme leaves separated from the stems, sprigs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 10-12 kale sprouts , ends trimmed and leaves separated
- ¾ cup English peas (or frozen peas that have been thawed)
- ½ lemon , juiced and zested
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese + more for garnish, grated
- ⅓ cup dill leaves , roughly chopped
Instructions
- Add the broken spaghetti noodles, leek, asparagus, broccoli, mushrooms, garlic, almond milk, vegetable broth, red pepper flakes, kosher salt, thyme leaves and olive oil to a large stock pot or dutch oven.
- Bring to a boil then reduce to simmer but still bubbling and cook for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally so pasta doesn't stick together.
- Add the kale sprout leaves and peas and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until pasta is cooked and the milk has reduced to a sauce.
- Stir in the lemon juice, parmesan cheese and dill. The sauce will thicken as it cools. Season with more kosher salt as desired.
- Serve with more dill leaves, parmesan cheese and sprinkle with the lemon zest.
