Pasta Primavera
Natalie found this recipe many years ago in a magazine or newspaper and has been making it ever since. It’s been modified a little from the original, but we always try to make recipes our own. This is a nice summery vegetarian meal that goes extremely well with a glass of crisp white wine.
