the hard work while you tend to your day. It’s the kind of meal you make when you want something that feels both wholesome and homey, with enough familiarity to please traditional tastes and enough color to feel just a little bit special.
This Spinach Pasta Primavera is hearty enough to stand on its own, but it shines brightest with a few simple Midwestern touches alongside. I like to serve it with a basket of warm garlic bread or buttered dinner rolls to scoop up every bit of the creamy sauce. A crisp green salad with a tangy vinaigrette balances the richness nicely—think leaf lettuce, a few sliced radishes, and maybe some cucumbers from the garden if they’re in season.
If you’re feeding a crowd or a hungry farm crew, a side of roasted or steamed green beans or sweet corn
