Gluten Free Pasta Primavera

This gluten free pasta primavera is truly everything I want right now. In fact, I made it again just days after we tested it, and now I’m finding myself craving it all over again. As the temperatures are rising and plants are coming back to life, I find myself stepping away from soups and braises and toward bright, fresh meals that take advantage of the fantastic produce we have available this time of year.

This gluten free pasta primavera is the ideal meal for transitioning between winter and spring. You get the comforting heartiness of pasta alongside bright lemon, fresh basil, an abundance of fresh veggies, and salty parmesan cheese. What’s even better is that this dish is ideal for weeknight cooking!

How to make Gluten Free Pasta Primavera

To make it, you’ll simply roast all of the veggies for 30 minutes until they are perfectly browned, and cook up the chicken at the same time, unless you already happen to have shredded chicken on hand. While the veggies and chicken cook, you’ll boil your favorite pasta (this is mine), then toss it all together with olive oil and lemon juice. Finally, you’ll garnish the whole thing with a generous handful of parmesan cheese and basil and serve!

Customize the Pasta Primavera

Another bonus of this gluten free pasta primavera is that you can customize it to your own tastes. Truly any roasted vegetable (think cauliflower, eggplant, mushrooms, or even brussels sprouts) would be delicious in here, and can easily be subbed in place of a veggie you don’t like quite as much. Also, if you can’t tolerate grains, you could substitute grain-free pasta, or even cauliflower gnocchi!

    I made this dish the other day and it was great! Just a heads up, it’s WAY more than 4 servings. More like 6-8. Next time, I would do 6oz of pasta.

    Can you prepare the veggies and chicken in the instantpot

      If so how would you recommend cooking it

      We actually haven’t ever tried this, Kendra! I think that the Instant Pot would cook the veggies too much for this dish. Please let us know if you try it, though!
