Ingredients
  

  • 1 Ib. pasta (mostaccioli or rigatoni)
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup diced zucchini
  • 1 cup diced bell pepper
  • 1 cup diced yellow squash
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or 1 cup Vegetable or chicken broth
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese optional

Instructions
 

  • Prep and dice your vegetables. I used about 1 cup of each including yellow squash, zucchini, read bell pepper and grape tomatoes. You can substitute what you have.
  • Cook pasta according to directions, until al dente. Rinse and drain. Heat olive oil in a large skillet and add garlic. Saute until golden brown.
  • Add zucchini and yellow squash. Cook until tender.
  • Add bell pepper, tomato and heavy cream. For a non-dairy option you can use 1 cup vegetable or chicken broth instead. Cook until sauce thickens (if using broth it will not thicken much). Pour over pasta and toss until well coated. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
