Farmers Market Pasta

I decided to make a yummy dish last night with some of the local produce I bought last weekend at the Lexington Farmers Market. I was needing to use some of it and some produce from our garden so I made a yummy, quick dish pasta. This dish literally takes under 10 minutes to make! Add more veggies if you want or change out with whatever you have. :) Enjoy!
