This flavorful springtime pasta was a big winner on our dinner table. Seafood pasta primavera is sure to make it’s way into your heart as well!
Loaded with seafood, spring vegetables, white wine and a bit of fresh lemon, this pasta brings a bit of wow to the table! Do you want to know the best part? It’s quick enough to make on a work night!
The vegetable to frosting recipe ratio has been a little upside down around here lately! Don’t worry, I have some fun desserts headed your way soon.
In fact there’s a week devoted to ice cream headed your way in July. So if your sweet tooth is feeling neglected don’t despair!
In the meantime I have been having too much fun playing with all of these fresh veggies not to share. I have been challenging myself to be creative with them.
MiMi was over when I was starting spring veggies au gratin. She mentioned that she thought kohlrabi kind of reminds her of the flavor of artichoke hearts.
For some reason that made me think of pasta. A nice pasta primavera seemed like the perfect way to use a variety of the produce.

This would be delicious with just shrimp, scallops or even chicken. We had a bag of frozen mixed seafood in the freezer that seemed like the perfect addition.
You could also change up the veggies with what you have. We really enjoyed the flavor and texture mixture of these but there are so many great options you could try.
Maybe some spinach wilted in? Or asparagus and pepper would be good too!
My husband was gobsmacked when he came in and saw what I had put together in such a short time. It is pretty impressive and doesn’t take too long to make.
I had invited my seafood loving brother to join us, but he had other plans. So I sent him a picture to rub it in share our excitement. I don’t think he’ll say no next time! 😉

This dish looks so fresh, healthy and delicious! What a great summer meal. Thanks so much for sharing at the Whimsical Wednesdays Link Party! Have a great week!
It was so good and a great way to get everyone to eat those veggies!
This looks delicious! I can't wait to try this sometime this summer.
I hope you enjoy it!
It is funny but I had never heard of kohlrabi until last year when Audrey's neighbor gave her some out of his garden. This seafood pasta primavera sounds delicious.
It's not that common around here either, but it seems as though it was more common in early decades as well.
Hi Carlee, love this. Pasta with fresh tomato and basil sauce is a regular at the moment. I just love the flavours, but admittedly my family are getting a little sick of it. I know this would appeal to them. Not sure if I'll be able to get kohl rabbi or yellow squash though, but I can always substitute.

Definitely! Just sub in your favorite veggies or whatever is fresh!
Looks like such a hearty yet perfect meal for summer! My kind of pasta! Happy Monday sweet lady!
Mine too! Thank you!
