A Rich and Creamy Pasta Primavera

Pasta Primavera With Blue Cheese is a garden-fresh blend of vegetables and fettuccine in a deliciously rich sauce made with whipping cream, blue cheese and cream cheese. Adorned with walnuts and a sprinkling of Parmesan Cheese, it’s as creamy and good as it sounds.
