Pasta Primavera (Pasta of Spring Vegetables) / USA

What kind of dish is this?

This is an American dish that combines pasta with vegetables and herbs.

Name

Primavera= It means “spring” in Italian.
To use a lot of spring ingredients.

History

There are various claims about the origin of this dish.
What I write this time is one of them.

This is a dish developed by Ed Giobbi, the artist and author of the cookbook.
While studying fresco in Italy, he also studied pasta.
He developed the pasta primavera based on his experience and the dishes cooked by his grandmother.
But, the recipe he developed was a simple one with only ripe tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, basil and parsley.

Spread

In 1973, Giobbi donated the recipe to his friends, a restaurant owner and a chef, and the pasta primavera became a restaurant menu.
And, It became an article of the New York Times.
That’s why It became famous, and many versions were adjusted by many people.
Perhaps the restaurant owners and chefs have made adjustments such as adding ingredients, so there are probably various claims about the origin.
Also, Considering that the existence of this dish stimulated people’s imagination and resulted in various versions, it is an important dish that contributed to the development of American cuisine.

Thoughts

The one I posted this time is based on various recipes on the internet.
The presence of vegetables, which emphasizes the pasta but also firmly asserts, was wonderful.
Also, it was delicious not only freshly made, but also a little rested in the refrigerator before eating.
