Spring pasta is a dish that combines the freshness of seasonal vegetables with the Italian tradition of pasta. Its origin is attributed to Italo-American cuisine, popularized especially in the United States during the 1970s, when chefs began to experiment with fresh ingredients and creamy sauces to offer a light and tasty meal. In Latin America, this dish maintains its original name in most countries, although some know it simply as pasta with vegetables or spring pasta. The combination of fresh ingredients and the versatility of the recipe have made it a favorite for both casual meals and special occasions.

How to Make Spring Pasta
Salted butter is melted in a large skillet.
Fresh cream is added along with freshly ground black pepper.
The mixture is left to simmer so the flavors can blend.
Tomato sauce and pre-cooked vegetables are added: carrot, zucchini, and broccoli.
Incorporate the previously cooked fettuccine pasta.
Remember that the pasta should be cooked al dente, meaning it should be a bit firm to the bite.
Egg yolks are beaten with a fork and mixed with a bit of fresh cream.
This mixture is added to the creamy sauce with the pasta, acting as a thickener.
It is important that the pasta is completely covered by the sauce.
Finally, serve the spring pasta accompanied by some grated parmesan cheese to taste.
