Spam Primavera

Light, bright, and ready in half an hour.

Strips of SPAM get cooked alongside thinly sliced carrots, zucchini, onion, and garlic in olive oil until everything is just tender.

Toss it all with hot linguine, a generous handful of grated Parmesan, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of white pepper.

It’s a simple formula that lets the vegetables and the salty bite of SPAM do all the talking.

Pro Tips

• Slice the carrots and zucchini into thin matchsticks so they cook quickly and twirl around the linguine.
• Save a cup of pasta water before draining. A splash helps the Parmesan create a silky coating on the noodles.
• The lemon juice is the secret ingredient here. It cuts through the richness and wakes up the whole dish.
