Gemelli Pasta with Squash, Peas and Basil from Everyday Food

I am really on a pasta kick and this dish turned out looking and tasting great! Summer squash is in season right now so you should be able to get some that is tasty and cheap.








It is quite simple as you can see.




Grab your ingredients. You need pasta, cheese peas, lemon, squash, butter and seasoning. Get that water boiling!




Chop up your squash. Give some to your dogs if you have any, its good for them as it has lots of good fiber.




When your water is boiling...




Drop in your pasta!




Don't forget to reserve some pasta water to make a little sauce action.




When the pasta is almost cooked drop in your squash...




And when that is almost done, drop in your frozen peas.




Get your butter cut up and ready to go. If you can, use real butter, if not use olive oil but don't use PLASTIC butter :)




Stir it all up to combine with the cheese, lemon and herbs. Don't forget to season with salt and pepper too!




Yum!




This is fast, easy and DELICIOUS! The lemon and the cheese give it great flavor with the sweetness of the peas and squash.
