Hi, my lovely readers! I just have to share a recipe I whipped up the other day that turned out to be a real winner: my homemade Summer Vegetable Pasta.

Summer Vegetable Pasta
Fresh, light, and healthy side to a summer meal.
- Prep Time: 10
- Cook Time: 20
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 4 cups 1x
- Category: Salad
- Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients
- 2 cups of pasta (I used penne, but feel free to use your favorite)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 yellow squash, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pasta First: I kicked things off by cooking the pasta according to the instructions on the packet.
2. Sauté Time: While the pasta was cooking, I heated the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. I tossed in the zucchini, yellow squash, and bell pepper slices, cooking until they started to soften.
3. More Goodness: Next, I added the cherry tomatoes and the minced garlic to the pan, letting everything cook until the tomatoes began to burst. The aroma was just incredible!
4. Bring It Together: Once my pasta was perfectly al dente and drained, I added it to the pan of beautifully sautéed veggies.
5. Toss It Up: Then came the fun part – tossing everything together! I sprinkled in the fresh basil and parmesan cheese and gave everything a good mix. The basil’s freshness paired beautifully with the savory parmesan.
6. Season and Serve: Finally, I seasoned my creation with salt and pepper, gave it one final stir, and there it was, my perfect Summer Vegetable Pasta, ready to be devoured!
Notes
Grilling the vegetables on a grill adds an extra summer flavor, especially if you use wood chips.
Seriously, guys, this dish was the taste of summer I needed. It was light, fresh, and so flavorful – the perfect meal for a warm summer evening. I’m already excited to make it again. I hope you’ll try it out too, and when you do, please let me know how it turned out. Enjoy every bite!
