Meatless Monday: Pasta with Sweet Peas, Sugar Snap Peas, and Ricotta

Here’s another super easy meatless Monday recipe — courtesy of the new Everyday Food cookbook — that relies on spring produce.  The thing I love about this recipe is that other than chopping a tablespoon of fresh tarragon there is absolutely no chopping involved!  Perfect
