FARMERS MARKET PASTA



Farmers Market Pasta image

When we moved into our house, little did we know that we had a wild asparagus patch. For decades, that little patch has given us plenty of asparagus. This recipe can be used almost any time of year, with almost any assortment of vegetables the season has to offer. By cooking without butter or oil, you can cut fat and calories, but the flavors are still there. -Wendy Ball, Battle Creek, Michigan
