When I saw this fun little blog-test I didn't scour my arsenal looking for the best recipe. I didn't stay up late thinking about ingredients. I didn't do any of the weird obsessive things I usually do when I am submitting a recipe for the world to see.
Why?
Because this summer I accidentally created my new comfort food recipe. It's nothing fancy. It's not gourmet. It is simply a way to use up all those awesome veggies from the farmer's market. There are no measurements, because you can make it for one or for one hundred and one (Dalmatians).
But it is something that you need to try, and therefore, I'm sending it in.
Presto Pasta Nights was the idea of Ruth over at Once Upon a Feast. It started in March of 07 and now here I am, over a year later, entering a dish.

So there you go. A very simple, very versatile, but still very delicious summer pasta dish.

I love your summer pasta. It's perfect.
I saw this recipe yesterday as I was catching up on my blog reading. As I was trying to decide on dinner tonight I remembered that I had some squash and pasta. Ding, ding, ding...we have a winner. I love this recipe. It definately is a great, light pasta dish!
