Looking for a light, flavorful, and farm fresh meal that’s quick and easy to make? Try this Veggie Spiral Pasta with Farm Fresh Pesto made with ingredients from our local farms — including pesto from Crossings Farm and fresh veggies from Seven Sisters Farm and Ander’s Family Farm!
This recipe takes only 15–20 minutes from start to finish — fresh, simple, and straight from the farm.
Here’s how to make it:
Boil your spiral pasta (rotini or fusilli work perfectly!) in one pot until it’s cooked through and tender.
Chop your veggies: green beans, carrots, scallion onions from Seven Sisters Farm, and peppers from Anders Family Farm add great flavor and color. Add broccoli if you’d like — it blends beautifully with the other veggies.
(Optional) Add water chestnuts for that perfect extra crunch, and steam all the veggies together in a saucepan until they’re tender.
Drain your pasta and combine it with the veggies in a large bowl.
Add the star ingredient: stir in Crossings Farm Pesto until everything is coated in that fresh, herby flavor.
What’s nice about this plate is that the more veggies you add, the more delicious it becomes — and it’s totally customizable. I even like to add asparagus when it’s in season! You can also top it with freshly cut cherry tomatoes from Anders Family Farm for a fresh, colorful garnish.
Serve warm or at room temperature — it’s light, colorful, and works great as a main dish or side. For even more flavor, top your bowl with an extra spoonful of pesto before serving.
