Add a mix of fresh tarragon, thyme and flat leaf parsley for explosive flavor.
The fresh flavors and textures make this dish a win for any spring brunch.
It comes together in under 30 minutes, leaving you more time to spend with your guest. Don't want pasta, serve the veggies as a side dish.
Start with fresh green beans and peas, sauté, add fresh herbs and seasonings, toss with pasta, sprinkle with a bit of lemon juice and that's it.

Celeste, I'm not a vegetarian, but we do love our veggies. Since we always grow herbs, this is a great way to mix vegetables and herbs. I'm a Texan too, so I understand the weather!
Celeste says
Carol this recipe would be a good one to serve as a side, glad you like it. I don't have a green thumb but I'm going to give it a try this year. I found a cute mason jar herb growing kit to try my hand at growing herbs.

When I saw these two veggies in the store all I could think of was pairing them to make a fresh dish just right for Spring.

Oh my goodness - this looks so divine! I adore pasta - it's always been my favourite food and can image that this would be really fresh - so perfect for Spring. Although that hasn't quite arrived in Edinburgh!
Celeste says
Laura I hope that you get Spring soon. Here in Texas we did not get much of a winter this year, and now the temps are inching up into the 90's and it's just the start of Spring. I would much rather have cooler temps. I hope you enjoy this fresh recipe.
