With the plethora of recipes on Pinterest and getting daily emails from my favorite cooking magazines, I've decided that I no longer need most of the magazines I receive. This recipe popped into my inbox from Cooking Light. The email showcased a variety of spring pasta dishes. Hubs and I usually make pasta once or twice a week. I immediately added this recipe to our recipe menu for the upcoming week. Hubs gets credit for making the dish, but it was as good as it looks. It also provided a good amount of leftovers. The only change I made was using shredded parmesan cheese instead of the shaved cheese.
