Pasta Primavera

This was a quick and easy weeknight meal idea that most of my kids ate! I don't know whose child Beau is, but seriously, if he picks apart one more meal I might scream... He finds the smallest things, holds them out and asks "what's this?" for everything!!! UGHHH... At least he is the only one, but if he keeps it up much longer I can see a copycat sister trying it in the future! :) Anyhow, back to the food... I used angel hair pasta instead of linguine, just out of personal preference, so feel free to use what you like! Happy eating!
