Hope this recipe will be yummy, I’m gonna to try it out.
Thanks for sharing such a instant recipe
Is there any reason why you can’t cook the pasta first and add in the peas and asparagus for the last few minutes of cooking time? That is the way I normally do it but am wondering now if there is a reason to do it this way.

Hmm, this is not hard to do. But I don’t like the spices, I mean the smell. Any recommendations?
Any idea on the nutritional count?
Judging from the list of ingredients I don’t think you could get a lot cholesterol from it. So I guess this is ok.

I am going to give this one a shot and hopefully win some brownie points with the lady, Thanks
Yummy
Combo of asparagus and snap peas sounds good. May toss in some cherry tomatoes. And I’ll need to veganize it, replacing Parmesan with nutritional yeast, Daiya cheese and/or Toffuti cream cheese!
My asparagus and peas are up but not ready to pick. I can’t wait for the fresh garden vegetables to try this recipe. I wonder if a few fresh basil leaves to garnish would be a nice addition?

Me and My auntie will try this for our summer trip this coming may 10. Hope it will taste good and refreshing. Thanks for sharing!
I advocate the brief cooking of fresh pea pods, shelled peas, snow peas, green beans, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, asparagus, corn kernels straight off the cob or from a frozen bag, zucchini and all summer squash.

Mmm. That recipe sounds amazing. I might sub the asparagus for broccoli or something though.
I used mozzarella but it´s still good. Ehehe
Yum what a great idea!
Reading the ingredients, I can see that it’s delicious. But, I will appreciate more if you put any picture of the final product. I bet, it’ll be more tempting.
