Spring Parmesan Pasta is a colorful and vibrant recipe that perfectly showcases the season's freshest veggies. Peas and Swiss chard are the heros of this version, but you could easily substitute the fresh veg coming out of your own garden. If you know me, then you know that I am not a religious person.
