Recipe: Pasta Primavera

There’s been a lot of talk about pasta this month from our pasta coupon (download it here: http://bit.ly/ClearlyCoupon) to our Pasta Recipe Contest (learn more here: emfl.us/w5Jd). We decided to cook and share one of our favorite recipes along the way: Pasta Primavera, found on the back of our spaghetti box. Enjoy!
