  • 1 large red bell pepper, cut into small thin strips
  • 2 shallots, minced
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions.
  2. Meanwhile, heat oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Cook zucchini, carrots, bell pepper, and shallots 5 minutes, or until tender, stirring frequently.
  3. Drain pasta. Add to skillet; toss with vegetable mixture, adding half of the cheese while tossing. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with remaining cheese.

Primavera means “spring” in Italian. Fresh vegetables are a mark of the spring harvest. The lightness of the sauteed vegetables are a nice contrast to the warmth of the spring.
