Sofie's Pasta With Fresh Sauce
"Stole this from my daughter. She makes it better, but this version is pretty good too. You should use fresh pasta - any kind is fine. You can substitute zucchini for the broccoli. Of course everything can be adjusted to taste."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>I live in Seattle, but have also lived in the DC area, the Mid-west, California, the South, and New England, as well as China and India plus travel a fair bit, so I have experienced a good number of cuisines and like them all. I eat mostly vegetarian and mostly do a lot of scratch cooking. I am known for my creative use of leftovers and whatever is in the fridge. Too bad those recipes can't go easily into Zaar.</p>
