Good for you Pasta Primavera!!

 If you are looking for easy and at the same time healthy and delicious. This recipe is a must try!  Any leftovers?  Just reheat in the microwave! They are great! I speak from experience.  I have reheated leftovers of the this meal and received great results and hubby even enjoyed it. (He doesn't care for leftover anything, except meatballs or pasta). Enjoy!



Happy Cooking from my kitchen to yours,
