Recipe Alert: Summer Veggie Pesto Pasta

I made this last night and we all loved it. The cold leftovers that I'm eating right now taste like summer... Ahh, summer!

I want to remember this, so I'm writing it up to share.

You can use whichever veggies you like.  Next time I find asparagus on sale, I'll be trying it in here. Some orange peppers would be tasty, too.

Mix it up.  Put whatever you like in here. Enjoy!
