I get cravings to use up the fresh veggies of the summer, this is a crisp and tasty pasta dish with crunchy snow peas, sweet cherry tomatoes, mushrooms and onions. It is also good without the pasta if you want to cut down on carbs. Look into also adding some grilled chicken or shrimp with salt pepper and a pinch of coriander for a nice additional treat mixed with this dish.
