I really like snow peas…both fresh with dip or in a salad and cooked. My Uncle Ralph loves to garden and he brought us some fresh snow peas straight from his garden. Wow. They were spectacular! So sweet, crisp, and oh so spring-like! I have to confess, we gobbled those up fresh because they were so delicious.

Some are more complex and time intensive than others, and yet are a true labor of love. Sometimes I will sneak herbs or veggies into the pasta for additional flavor, color, and nutrients.
