Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

One 12-ounce package spinach fettuccine
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium yellow summer squashes, halved lengthwise and sliced
One pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese or Parmesan-style soy cheese
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cook the pasta according to package directions and drain.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, heat the oil in a skillet. Add the squash and sauté over medium heat, stirring often, until tender-crisp to your liking. Add the tomatoes and continue to cook until they are just heated through.

    Step 3

    Combine the pasta with the squash mixture in a serving container. Add the Parmesan cheese and toss together. If a little more moisture is needed, add a small amount of water and toss again. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.
