When Life Gives You Farm Fresh Vegetables...

...make pasta! Last week, a friend of ours dropped off some fresh veggies from the garden. And I knew exactly what I was going to do first!!!

Aren't they pretty?

 

 

I washed them. I sliced them. And I threw them in a pan with some olive oil.

( I used squash, zucchini, peppers, and baby tomatoes.)

I had no fresh herbs, but dried Italian works just fine.

So I added that.

 

 

Meanwhile, I boiled some pasta.

Whatever I had on hand worked well.

 

 

Then I drained that pretty pasta...

 

 

and added it to those yummy veggies. I sprinkled it with fresh parmesan cheese.

And life was good.

 

 

When one is serving fresh summer veggie pasta, one must also have fresh Mixed Berry Pie, don't you think?

 

 

Me too. ; )

 

This pie is super simple...4 cups of berries...I used strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries....mixed with 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup corn starch, and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon. Let that sit for half an hour. Bake in your favorite crust for 45-50 minutes at 350 degrees.

 

 

Happy Summer Eating, my friends!!!!
