Angel Hair Pasta With Garden Vegetables image

This recipe is such a yummy way to use up odds and ends from the garden! I almost hate to post it b/c it is basically just a pasta primavera, but it is too yummy to not share and there is nothing better than eating a meal that you helped grow :). It is also nice that this takes about as long to make as boiling pasta. Use any pasta (I always use a "plus" variety to get more protein) and feel free to switch up the veggies as your garden or farmers' market provides. This is pretty easy to pare down for solo dining, too. From Light and Tasty.
