Oh how I love the month of August. Not only are the children going back to school :) but the farmer's market and the local grocery store is over flowing with good, fresh, healthy things to eat.
A meal can be simple,
(which is of course the way I like it) fresh, and inexpensive.
With good, fresh produce it is matter of thin slices and little butter.
Add a hot pan and you are ready to go!
The produce for this dish was actually given to me by a nice gardener friend--another benefit in August--people always plant too many squash plants, and for us (with a tiny city lot) that is a blessing.
Ingredients:
2 pounds pasta
3 or 4 large summer squash or zucchini
4 tablespoons butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 juice of one lemon
dash of salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons chopped green onion
3tablespoons fresh grated Parmesan cheese
Put large pot of water on to boil; add all the pasta and cook as directed on box. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, slice squash very thinly and set aside.
Melt butter on medium heat in large fry pan
Add minced garlic and saute a bit so garlic can cook a bit, but watch it carefully so it doesn't burn.
Add the squash to the pan and saute for about 8-10 minutes until it is tender.
Add the lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Place the cooked, drained pasta in a large shallow bowl.
Top with the squash mixture.
Garnish with the green onions and the cheese.
Enjoy !!!
