Primavera sounds like a famous opera singer, or ballet dancer, or other arty European thing, but you know what? Primavera was born right here in the U.S. of A., land of the free and home of the brave. (But it was made famous in a restaurant called Le Cirque. We smell arty!) We've ditched the traditional pasta for rice, but kept the fresh vegetables and creamy sauce. We also added some Chesapeake seasoning (speaking of old U.S. of A.) to add a special seafood-y touch. Don't let names fool you.
