FRESH VEGGIE PASTA



Fresh Veggie Pasta image

I have been making this pasta for quite a few years. It is great to serve for a dinner party or cut recipe in half for the two of you...you will still have left overs and is just as delicious a couple of days later too.. It is always a big hit and very appealing to look at. Great vegetarian dish, low in fat, low in calories. I serve it with fresh focaccia bread and my own herb infused olive oil.
