Pasta Primavera

For those that don't know, I LOVE cookbooks!! With the wedding, and my bridal shower, and me splurging on them, I've got a few new ones. I have had so much fun trying new recipes.

This pasta dish is taken from: Company's Coming, 30 minute weekday meals
Very quick an easy recipe. Adding Chicken to this dish would make it a full meal! So Yummy!
