These light and flavorful recipes celebrate the produce that comes with the arrival of the season. You’ll find mostly main dishes in this line-up, but many can double as sides or light lunches. If you’re lucky enough to have a farmers’ market open during the spring months, that’s an excellent place to pick up provisions for these recipes. If spring produce hasn’t hit your neck of the woods yet, jarred or frozen vegetables can swap seamlessly into some of these recipes. The Cheesy Artichoke Pie (YUM!), for example, calls for canned artichokes. The Lemony Spaghetti with Peas and Ricotta works well with frozen peas if you can’t get fresh. Either way, you’ll still feel spring is in the air when these recipes hit your table.
