Ingredients:

Serving

1/4 lb dried italian linguine (can use fresh pasta
2 cups broccoli florets
1/4 lb green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup sugar snap pea, stems removed (or snow peas)
1/4 lb asparagus , split lengthwise and cut in half
2 tbsp finely minced fresh dill
2 tbsp finely minced garlic
1/4 cup finely chopped scallion, green part only
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp olive oil
4 tbsp basil pesto (optional)
1 (10 oz) can baby clams (optional)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
snipped fresh italian parsley (for garnish )
toasted pine nuts (for garnish )
grated parmesan cheese

Directions:

Bring 4 quarts of water to a rolling boil and cook the pasta for 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente.
Meanwhile, steam 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 asparagus to the steaming basket and steam for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and set aside with the other vegetables. Reserve the steaming broth.
Drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Add the vegetables, dill, garlic, scallions or green onions, pepper flakes, oil and 1/2 to 3/4 cup reserved steaming broth (omit broth if using pesto), and heat over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring to coat thoroughly. Add pesto and baby clams, if desired.
Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with snipped fresh parsley and toasted pine nuts, and grated Parmesan cheese at the table.
