Summer Veggie “Pasta”

Last updated on June 11th, 2023 at 07:58 am

This dish takes full advantage of the gorgeous summer produce that is starting to appear in farmer’s markets and CSA boxes.

Use this recipe as a jumping off point and add whatever veggies you like — shaved asparagus (or cooked), mushrooms, fresh corn, and snow peas would all work really well.

Ingredients

  • 1/2ย  poundย  linguineย  ย (or your favorite pasta — fettuccine and spaghetti would also work really well!)
  • 1/2 poundย  zucchini
  • 1/2ย  poundย  yellow squash
  • 1 poundย  tomatoes, finely choppedย  (use any tomatoes you have access to — if using cherry, no need to cut them in half — roma, beefsteak and heirloom would all work)
  • 2/3 cupย  finely chopped red onion
  • 2ย  tablespoonsย  extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2ย  tablespoonsย  champagne or white wine vinegar
  • 1ย  teaspoonย  sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoonย  kosher salt

  • 8ย  smallย  basil leaves
  • 4ย  radishes, thinly sliced
  • 1/2ย  cupย  Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, grated

Instructions

  • Cook pasta according to package directions.
  • While the pasta cooks, shave zucchini and squash into thin ribbons using a vegetable peeler; place in a large bowl.
  • Add tomatoes and next 7 ingredients to bowl; toss to combine.
  • Let stand 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to coat. This allows all the flavors to meld together and infuse the ingredients with gorgeous flavor.
  • When the pasta is al dente, drain and add to the vegetables while it's still warm. This is how to get really flavorful pasta.
  • Add pasta to vegetables, tossing gently to combine.
  • Top with panko, basil, radishes, cheese, and extra drizzle of olive oil.
