MC formatted by Barb at Possum Kingdom using MC Buster & SNT Notes: Asparagus, green beans and peas give this pasta its name. Start with an antipasto platter of purchased marinated vegetables, cured meats and cheeses. Serve the pasta with some crusty Italian bread. Champagne makes a festive bever age.
