More Summery Fun

The wonderful thing about summer cooking is that it is so simple. The produce is so fresh it requires little preparation and the long sunny days demand light and delicate meals. All I did for the above pasta dish was to thinly slice some squash lengthwise with my mandoline and then saute it with a bit of olive oil and garlic until it was just tender. I transferred the squash to a bowl and sauteed three thinly sliced gypsy peppers in the same skillet with a bit of additional oil. Then I tossed cooked penne with ribboned basil, a couple of diced fresh tomatoes, the sauteed vegetables and some crumbled feta. Yum. And so visually pleasing too!
