SP_Stepf's Summer Kitchen Sink Pasta

Maybe I should have called this my "Summer Farmers Market Pasta." It's full of the vegetables I brought home from the farmers market on Saturday. Like many of my recipes, it can be altered based on what you've got on hand. I almost threw in some Swiss chard (my green of choice these days) and some brilliant yellow crookneck squash, but I decided to save those for another day and another dish.Submitted by: STEPFANIER

This recipe is great.. I added a can of italian style tomatos and omitted the onion... Hubby won't eat whole wheat pasta and that is what I used... I just didn't tell him. He never knew. - 8/6/10
