Recipe Note

If you know me, then you should expect peas in my pasta dishes. I created this dish using my favorite combination of vegetables! This dish is super delicious. I bet adding chicken or shrimp to this dish would be very good. Due to my new love for turmeric, I decided to add some into this dish. Yum. Garnish with fresh herbs.
