Peter's Favorite Pasta

The following recipe was given to me by my friend Sandy over 5 years ago when our girls were still babies.  At the time, it was her husband Peter's favorite dish and has remained a family favorite of ours ever since.  Since the original recipe Sandy wrote out for me is now water stained and almost illegible, I decided that it was time to preserve it and share.  Enjoy!!!
