  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     1/4  lb            Dried Italian linguine
   2      c             Broccoli florets
     1/4  lb            Green beans -- trimmed, cut 1"
     1/4  lb            Sugar snap or snow peas --
                        - stems removed
     1/4  lb            Aspargus -- split lengthwise,
                        - cut in half
   2      tb            Fresh dill -- minced
   2      tb            Garlic -- finely minced
     1/4  c             Scallions -- green part only,
                        - finely chopped
     1/4  ts            Red pepper flakes
   1      ts            Olive oil
                        Salt
                        Pepper

Bring 4 qt 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 qt 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. Although perhaps I should
call it a vegetable dish: It's loaded with wounderful fresh
vegetables! I vary the green vegetables according to the season and
it never becomes boring.
