This light, fresh pasta is an essential for easy weeknight dinners. It is simple yet elegant and can be prepped so easily, you can even make it ahead and just toss it back on the stove in time to serve! I know this will be one of my go-to’s this summer when I just want something quick to serve that will make everyone content. Enjoy!
