This was good! I used shredded zucchini, carrot, and squash. I added some crispy bacon, which gave it a nice smoky essence. -
Tasty pasta! I love adding fresh veggies to my pastas, so this was just right for me. I added a little romano cheese with the parmesan. Made for My 3 Chefs Nov 2008. Thanks!
