Jenny Craig Recipe Creation: Piccata Primavera

Special thanks to Jenny Craig for their sponsorship of this post.

At the end of the week, I usually get a little creative with what’s left in my refrigerator.  During a pandemic (and especially during a week where food shortages are at an all-time high), I just can’t let food go to waste.

It’s in moments like this that I create meals like this one…

A handful of spinach, sliced onions, a few asparagus, and the last of the grape tomatoes… I’ll definitely be making this recipe more purposefully in the days ahead.

Jenny Craig Recipe Creation: Piccata Primavera | No Thanks to Cake

There's something about adding fresh veggies to a pasta dish that just transforms it from being a simple pasta dish, to an experience! This dish was created on refrigerator cleanout day, and I highly encourage you to get creative with whatever veggies you have on hand that are nearing their final days!
