MIKEY'S SUMMER SQUASH PASTA



Mikey's Summer Squash Pasta image

A favorite in my house, and a great way to enjoy young summer squash. It's delicious with or without meat but I love bacon!! I have used ground beef, Italian sweet sausage and left over chicken. you can also put this in a baking dish, cover generously with mozzarella and put it in the oven until the cheese is nicely melted. There are no rules! Enjoy.

Time 35m

Yield 8 , 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 summer squash, young and 1 ''- 1 1/2 '' diameter cut into bite sized chunks
4 zucchini, young, same way
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 onion, small, cut up coarsley
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
10 fresh basil leaves, chopped
6 ounces bacon, diced
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
16 ounces pasta, your favorite. I use rotini

Steps:

  • Put water on for pasta and cook the pasta according to the directions on package.
  • in a large sauce pan or frying pan, fry bacon until nicely browned and crispy then remove and set aside.
  • drain bacon grease and discard, But, do not wipe or clean pan because you want that stuff left in there!
  • Add all of olive oil to your pan at a medium heat.
  • add garlic to pan and saute for 1-2 minutes being careful no to burn.
  • add onion and continue to saute until onions are tender.
  • add tomatoes to pan and saute until 1/2 or so of the liquid has evaporated stirring often to help deglaze the bacon goodness from the pan.
  • add all squash and toss into the rest of the ingredients and continue to saute and stir until squash begins to soften.
  • at this point add the 2 tsp of butter to the pan and mix into the veggies.
  • when veggies are tender to your liking, remove from heat and add the cooked crispy bacon, chopped basil and parmesan cheese and toss 1 more time.
  • plate the pasta individually or place in a large serving bowl and top the pasta with the squash! sprinkle with extra parmesan if you like and serve with a green salad and some garlic bread. Good stuff!

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. On the baking sheet, toss the whole cherry tomatoes and sliced zucchini and squash with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and arrange in a single layer (or as close to a single layer as possible). Roast for about 25 minutes, tossing halfway, until the cherry tomatoes have burst and the squash is tender.
  • Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to boil and cook the pasta until al dente, according to package directions. Before draining the pasta, reserve about 1 cup of the pasta cooking water. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot.
  • While the pasta is hot, add the lemon juice, butter, goat cheese, garlic and red pepper flakes to the pot. Add about 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta cooking water and gently toss the pasta until the ingredients are evenly mixed together and the pasta is coated in a light sauce (add more reserved cooking water if the pasta seems dry).
  • Once the tomatoes and squash are out of the oven, add them to the pot along with all of the tomato juices. Gently toss once again to combine. Season to taste with salt (I added more than 1/2 teaspoon) and freshly ground pepper, then sprinkle chopped basil over the pasta and divide into individual serving bowls. Serve immediately.
