Spring Pastas

 Everyone thinks that pasta is for the cooler seasons like fall and winter.Yet there's nothing like a good Spring pasta. There;s so many different types of veggies you can add to the sauce>It's a fresh taste for a fresh season,

Gnocchis really shouldn't be classified as pasta yet they are. I found a really good brand at Lidl .It 

They came with their own sauce  which was tomato, bell pepper and zucchini coins. The gnocchi's flavor was elevated thanks to the different veggies

Keep in mi nd gnocchi and any pasta would benefit from a pepper and squash sauce or better yet a spinach pesto. This last is on my radar to make. Basil can be oo strong. Spinach has the right amount of sweetness and earthiness to bring out any kind of pasta's flavor. 

I like using in any Spring pasta. My Easter lunch was bunny , chick and egg shaped pasta - so cute - with my signature mushroom and spinach sauce. This is my all time favorite , because the spianch and baby bellas are perfect together.  Each complement each other and the pasta.All it needs is a pinch of garlic powder and that;s it. Another tasty sauce is fresh mint and peas, perfect with angel hair..An asparagus,lemon  and butter sauce is also a tasty combination.,

Pack away the heavy sauces. It's Spring, Time for lighter fare and lighter sauces.
