We love seafood in our house and since I had been craving some crab meat I thought I would look for a recipe that incorporated some veggies in as well and luckily I found a pasta recipe so I could use my home-made pasta with it. This recipe came out really light and refreshing and didn't have a heavy cream sauce which was nice. The leftovers went just as fast and got gobbled up in no time.
