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.

They are a great way to cheaply feed a lot of people and can have some great flavours! I made this yummy side dish for our BBQ last Sunday. This dish is easy to make and turned out to be a big hit at the party (no leftovers). It can either be served chilled or heated, delicious either way.
