Pasta Primavera, or “Springtime Pasta” in Italian, is a classic. My take throws some of those veggies on the grill, contrasting the grassy flavors with the roasted grilled flavors. An upgrade from pasta salad, this recipe is easy, versatile, and in 30 minutes, your new weeknight pasta. Let’s make Grilled Pasta Primavera!
