Remove the broccoli and beans and set aside. ADD the peas and aspargus to the steaming basket and steam for 3 to 4 minutes.

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.
