______________________________________________________________
It's spring, so pasta primavera has to make an appearance. We couldn't call ourselves seasonal cooks without it! This is a fairly simple recipe, though I have no idea how authentic it is. That said, it does somehow perfectly capture spring flavors. The white wine, lemon, and light herb-y flavors mingle with the tiny amount of cream for a perfect combination. It has warmed up again here into the upper 50s and we had a partly sunny day that's drifting to rain overnight. It's quintessential spring. We couldn't have picked a better meal for tonight!

Prep Notes
Difficulty: Easy
Chopping: Squash, garlic, Parmesan, basil, parsley
Time: 35 minutes
Make ahead: This will reheat fine as long as you are VERY careful not to let the sauce boil (AKA curdle).

Reaction
J: "Perfect spring!"
M: "Spring in a bowl!"
