I got this out of a recent Martha Stewart Magazine. I made it and served it with green peas on the side. My kids loved this. It was also really fast and easy. Great weeknight summer pasta dish. The original recipe called for fettuccine, but I made it with angel hair instead because that's what I had on hand. The recipe also stated that you could substitiue fresh basil for the mint, but the mint was great.
