Just a fast entry here - we served this to our friends, Jackie and Daniel the other night. This is a very easy pasta dish that pleases the whole family!
Summer Squash and Chicken Pasta
Ingredients:
2 yellow summer squash
2 zucchini
half box of spaghetti
2-3 Tblsp olive oil
2-3 Tblsp garlic
2 Tblsp Italian seasoning blend
pinch salt
2 Roma tomatoes (I forgot to grab them at the store, so I subbed a can of diced tomatoes)
2 tsp. Balsalmic vinegar
Parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions:
Season chicken with about half of the garlic and Italian seasoning and cook (you can use the oven, but I like to use the microwave and keep the kitchen a little cooler)
Make pasta according to box
Cube cooked chicken into bite sized pieces
Cube tomatoes (or drain can)
Toss everything together (I find it best to use tongs) with the rest of the seasonings and the olive oil and balsalmic vinegar, simmer for about 10 min, enough to get the zucchini and squash tender, but not mushy.
Serve with Parmesan cheese, if desired
This can easily become a vegetarian meal by just omitting the chicken!
