Eatables

While I was at the grocery store yesterday, I began contemplating what to make for dinner. My husband and I really love Italian cuisine, particularly pasta, so I went to the pasta isle and picked up a box of penne. On the back of the box I found this primavera recipe (though here it’s a little tweaked) and it turned out to be quite tasty. The next time I make this, I’ll have to try it out on company.
