Notes
Here are some helpful tips to make sure your Domino’s Pasta Primavera turns out just right:
- Use Fresh Vegetables: The key to a great Pasta Primavera is fresh, crisp vegetables. You can mix and match your favorites, but broccoli, spinach, and bell peppers are a great start.
- Don’t Overcook the Veggies: You want your vegetables to have a slight crunch, so be careful not to overcook them. Lightly sautéing them before adding them to the pasta works well.
- Choose Your Favorite Pasta: While penne is the classic choice, feel free to use any pasta you like. Fusilli, farfalle, or even spaghetti can work well in this dish.
- Add Some Protein: If you want to make the dish heartier, add some grilled chicken, shrimp, or even tofu.
- Customize the Sauce: If you prefer a lighter sauce, you can use olive oil and garlic instead of Alfredo. For a vegan option, try using a dairy-free cream or cashew-based sauce.
