--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     1/4  pound dried   Italian linguine
   2      cups          broccoli florets
     1/4  pound         green beans trimmed -- and cut into 1 inch
     1/4  pound sugar   snap peas or snow peas -- stems removed
     1/4  pound         aspargus, split lengthwise -- and cut in half
   2      tablespoons   minced fresh dill
   2      tablespoons   finely minced garlic
     1/4  cup           finely chopped scallions -- green part only
     1/4  teaspoon      red pepper flakes
   1      teaspoon      olive oil
          salt          
          pepper        

Bring 4 quarts of water to a rolling boil and cook the pasta for 8 to 10
minutes until al dente.
Meanwhile, stem the broccoli and beans in a steaming basket set over 1 quart
of simmering water for 4 to 6 minutes.
Remove the broccoli and beans and set aside. ADD the peas and aspargus to the
steaming basket and steam for 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove and set aside with the others vegetables. Reserve the steaming broth.
Drain the pasta and return it to the pot.
Add the vegetables, dill, garlic, scallions, pepper, oil,and 1/2 to 3/4 cup
reserved steaming broth and heat over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring
to coat throughly. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

Note:
 This pasta dish is a standard at our house- althrough perhaps I should call
it a vegetable dish: It's loaded with wounderful fresh veggies!
I vary the green vegetables according to the season and it never becomes
boring.
