Spring is the best time of year for so many reasons. In addition to sunshine and longer days, the city turns gorgeous with all the spring flowers and grasses … AND all the fresh produce arrives!

And, it’s all the delicious green produce too. Lettuces, peas, asparagus’, leeks, green onions, chives, all at their peak in the year. This One-Pot Spring Pasta is my shoutout to Spring deliciousness.

Adapted from a vegetarian one-pot pasta, I added in extra veg and some sausage for protein. The best discovery of this dish is that it is truly ONE-pot.

You need to use a large pot to accommodate broth and cream to cook the pasta, however, it is snap to clean up.

I used chicken herb sausage as my protein, that being said, adding in shredded pieces from a rotisserie chicken right before eating or crisping up some tofu for it would be wonderful too!

The vegetables can be easily substituted and when making this the last time I completely forgot to add the green onions. I didn’t miss them so feel free to make this recipe your own. I do like the amount of vegetables it calls for as I don’t feel guilty in not serving a salad with.

All in all, dinner on the table in less 30 minutes sounds dreaming to me when I only have one pot to clean afterwards.

We also adore these One Pot Roasted Red Pepper Pasta for a quick family recipe, and this this fun Bacon Mushroom Swiss Burger Pasta recipe which is packed with finely chopped spinach for another wholesome pasta dish.

  • 1 cup peas either 1 cup frozen or 1 cup fresh from approx. 1 pound of pea pods
  • 1 bunch of asparagus trimmed, and sliced into 1/2" pieces
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 5 garlic cloves
  • 3 scallions green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 leeks white and light green part only, trimmed and thinly sliced
  • 1 medium shallot I used a white shallot, but the purple ones work fine too
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper
  • 1 pound spaghetti noodles broken in half
  • 4 cups reduced sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt plus more for seasoning
  • 2 tbsp chopped chives
  • 1/4 freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese plus more for serving
Instructions
  1. In a pot set to medium, add sausage and cook stirring to break up into small bits until almost all pink is gone. Add garlic, scallions, leeks, and shallots, and cook for 4-6 minutes until vegetables soften.
  2. Add stock, cream, spaghetti, crushed red pepper, and 1/2 tsp of salt and bring to a boil. Partially cover, reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
  3. Add asparagus and peas. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes until added vegetables are tender yet crisp and pasta is tender.
  4. Remove from heat. Stir in chives and 1/4 cup of cheese. Season to taste.
  5. Serve with additional cheese on side.
