Pro tips

• Feel free to use any type of pasta. Gluten-free pasta will work too.
• This recipe goes well with everything, so add all the veggies you'd like.
• Fresh peas are also a good option, although I only had frozen peas on hand.
• Also, feel free to add any spices or fresh or dried herbs you want to.

How long will this pasta primavera keep?

This recipe tastes better if served immediately, but it'll also last quite some time if stored properly. You could even store it in individual portions so you just have to grab and go!

So if you don't usually have a lot of time to cook healthy meals, you can make a big amount of pasta primavera and keep the leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for 5-7 days.

How to reheat pasta primavera

To reheat your pasta, you can transfer it into a microwave-safe bowl and heat it up in the microwave until it's warm enough. If you don't want to use the microwave, another good option is reheating it in the pan over low heat until hot.

What to eat pasta primavera with

This recipe works great as a main dish with homemade vegan Parmesan cheese or some baked tofu on top. However, if you want to serve it as a side dish, you can serve it with seitan to incorporate some protein into your meal.
