Shortcut “Vodka” Primavera, cause sometimes we don’t got time to make nonnas sauce from scratch. Oh, and it’s gluten free dairy free!
This is the perfect dish for when you are craving an indulgent pasta but you still want to eat healthy. It is loaded up with veggies, you can throw it all in one pot, and because this is a shortcut recipe, its super quick and easy to throw together. Shortcut here means that there’s no vodka involved in the “vodka” sauce, and no intricacy to the making of the sauce, but it is still that nice creamy red you are looking for.
