Easy Summer Squash Pasta Recipe
Transcript
00:00Today, we're going to cook together a summer squash pasta.
00:03It's super easy to make and it tastes so good, you're going to love it.
00:07Hey, I'm Laura and on this channel, I share simple recipes like this one and a lot of
00:11tips to help you be more confident in the kitchen so you can cook more at home.
00:15If that's your jam, hit the red subscribe button so you and I can cook together a couple
00:19times a week.
00:20To get this meal going and get it on the table really quickly, I'm going to start by boiling
00:24my pasta.
00:25About two cups of any pasta you like or about half a box.
00:30So while my pasta cook, we're going to make the rest of this meal.
00:33I have some summer squash here that I simply trimmed the ends and to make it easier to cut,
00:40I'm going to chop it into a couple of pieces and I'm just going to slice it in half and
00:45cut it into thinner half moons just like that.
00:49The thinner your squash, the quicker it'll cook in the skillet.
00:53So now that my summer squash is all here, it's going to shrink down when you cook it
00:56so don't worry, it's not too much.
00:57I'm going to start by heating up some olive oil on my skillet.
01:01Into the hot oil, I'm going to add some minced garlic.
01:04You can grate it or chop it, totally up to you.
01:07And we're going to toast the garlic for about 30 seconds or so.
01:12And then I'm going to add my butter into the pan.
01:15I'm going to melt it with the garlic.
01:19Butter helps create a nice creamy texture without having to add any cream.
01:24Now I'm going to add my sliced summer squash right into my pan.
01:27Some Italian seasoning, some salt and pepper.
01:31I'm going to saute this for about five minutes right here until the summer squash kind of gets
01:38a little soft.
01:39But in the meantime, I'm also going to keep an eye on my pasta.
01:42Give it a stir here and there.
01:44Check it out.
01:45You know they're ready because the squash begins to look translucent like that.
01:50My pasta is also ready.
01:52So before I drain it out, I'm going to reserve about a half a cup of pasta water.
01:56I'm going to put right here to make a bit of a sauce after it's done.
02:00And after I reserve the pasta water, you can drain it out.
02:04And I'm going to take my pasta and add it on top of my summer squash.
02:09I'm going to give everything a quick mix.
02:14I'm going to add a bit of gorgonzola cheese.
02:17You could also use feta or goat cheese, blue cheese, a sharp cheese works great.
02:25And we're also going to add half of that reserve pasta water real quick.
02:30And together we're going to stir everything.
02:33And the heat of it is going to dissolve our cheese crumbles, create a starchy sauce.
02:39One last step that I love to do is squeeze half a lemon directly into my pasta.
02:45It brings out this freshness, the flavors of summer.
02:48You're going to love it.
02:49And just like that, this summer pasta is ready.
02:55So simple, so delicious.
