Pasta Primavera is a classic delicious dish. For this vegan recipe, we decided to keep it friendly and straightforward. However, just because this Vegan Pasta Primavera is simple does not mean we skimped on the veggies. We used fresh green beans, green peas, and bright red cherry tomatoes. We even created a light cream sauce using vegetable broth and coconut milk to elevate the Vegan Pasta Primavera. We also added a touch of freshly squeezed lemon juice to brighten things up and basil to give the vegan pasta Primavera a sweet yet peppery bite.
