Summer Veggie Pasta

Hello Everyone!
As you can probably figure out from my bio...I am really new to this. I have never had my own blog before and lately I really wanted to start one about food and all the recipes I have made. So here is my first one and I hope you enjoy it.

So in the small town that I live in, there is a small farmer's market on Saturdays and Wednesdays. My mother is the kind that goes to the store to get "a few things" and comes back with an entire cart of stuff, so it came natural to her to "check out the farmer's market" and come back with a ton of stuff including zucchini, summer squash, cucumber, green peppers, tomatoes, bread, and of course kolakies. And of course all of that expires. So when we got home, I got started: zucchini bread, casserole, more zucchini bread.

Then, on we went to a friend's bonfire, and they had zucchini to give us. So the other night I made up a very simple recipe using the ingredients we had. It's fast and easy with only a few ingredients! Here it is:

Summer Veggie Pasta

1-2 medium zucchini

1 medium summer squash

3 T. olive oil

2 cups diced chicken (I used frozen)

Pepper and Salt

 1/2 box of bow tie pasta noodles

1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish*

Cook the pasta as directed on the box. When finished, drain and put in a large bowl.

Meanwhile, slice zucchini and summer squash into circles. Then, quarter each slice (some may have to be cut more than into quarters). In a fry pan, saute them on medium with 2 T. of olive oil until tender, about 10 min.

Fry the diced chicken with 1 T. of olive oil. When almost done, sprinkle with salt and pepper to season. You can also season with other seasoning such as chili powder.

When the veggies and chicken are done, add to bowl with pasta along with the cheese, and toss until mixed. Serve and top with more cheese.

Refrigerate leftovers. Can be reheated or eaten cold without chicken.

*Parmesan can be substituted or combined with Asiago and/or Romano.
