pasta primavera

Springtime Italian dish

Pasta primavera is a dish of pasta with fresh vegetables, typically including tomatoes, zucchini, broccoli, and bell peppers in a light sauce.

The name means "spring pasta" in Italian, though the dish originated in American restaurants: I'll have the pasta primavera with a side salad.
