Pasta Primavera

A large pot is taken, water is brought to a boil, adding a teaspoon of salt and butter cut into cubes, according to the recipe. This step is essential to give a pleasant taste to the pasta. Once the water has started to boil, the thin spaghetti is added, which is ideal for serving as an appetizer. It is important to respect the boiling time indicated on the package, as the spaghetti should be al dente, meaning cooked but still slightly firm.

While the pasta is boiling, a delicious garnish is prepared. Broccoli florets are steamed, which will add a splash of color and nutrients, and grated carrot, which will bring sweetness and texture. These vegetables will make the dish not only healthier but also more visually appealing.

After the pasta has boiled, it is drained without rinsing with water, so as not to remove the starch, which helps the sauce adhere better. The spaghetti is placed in a large bowl and topped with the broccoli and steamed carrot, then covered with a lid or aluminum foil to retain the heat.

In a pan, two tablespoons of oil are heated along with the cream. This combination will create a creamy and delicious sauce. When the mixture begins to boil, salt, pepper, and finely crushed garlic are added. It is important to stir constantly for a minute to prevent the garlic from burning. After that, grated parmesan is added, stirring continuously until it melts completely, forming a velvety sauce.

This sauce is poured over the pasta in the bowl, mixing with two forks to ensure an even distribution of flavors. It is served on wide, large plates that have been preheated to keep the dish warm for longer. Freshly chopped parsley is sprinkled on top, providing a contrast of color and freshness.

If you want to transform this main course into an elegant appetizer for a festive meal, use a fork and a spoon to wrap a bundle of pasta and place it in Chinese soup spoons. They can be sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds for an extra flavor boost. The arrangement on Chinese noodle plates will surely impress the guests, providing an innovative culinary experience. Although it is ideal to accompany this dish with tahini or peanut sauce, lack of time should not be an obstacle. The dish will remain delicious and tasty even without these elaborate sauces.
