This is a yummy recipe. A friend of mine posted it on her blog a long
time ago and I've been making ever since. It's easy, pretty quick and a
little different than most of the pasta dishes I've made. I always seem to
add more broccoli and mushrooms than it calls for...more veggies the merrier
right?!
