Freshness in a Bowl

  My garden, while small, really escalates my cooking and proves time and time again, how much better homegrown produce tastes, looks and smells. This dish needs no recipe as it is more of a template. Use what's in season (from your garden or farmers market preferably) and sit back and enjoy the beautiful simplicity that is summer.



My garden hitting its peak! 





Summer Veggies with Tagliatelle

    

This dish comes together as quickly as it takes to boil and cook the pasta.  Boil a large pot of salted water, and cook pasta to al dente.  Meanwhile cut up veggies, (I used onions, zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes and basil).    Sauté veggies with salt, pepper (except tomatoes and basil) in a little olive oil until crisp tender.  I added onions first since they take a little longer.  When pasta is done add to the veggies, then add tomatoes and basil and a small amount of pasta water to make everything come together. Top with parmesan cheese if you please.  Super fast and completely satisfying. Enjoy!
