Instructions
- Boil noodles according to package directions. (While pasta is boiling you can toast the pine nuts and chop your veggies). Reserve 3/4 cup pasta water and discard the rest of the water. Toss noodles with a little olive oil to keep them from getting stuck together. Set aside while you prepare the veggies.
- Toast the pine nuts by stirring in a skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned. Set aside.
- Toss together the zucchini, squash, and tomatoes with the olive oil and a generous seasoning of salt and pepper. Skewer the veggies and grill (along with the corn on the cob) over medium heat for 6-8 minutes on each side (veggies should be fork-tender and begging to char a bit). Cut the corn off the cob and combine all of the vegetables.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in garlic til fragrant, about one minute. Add pasta noodles and reserved pasta water.
- Gradually stir in parmesan and pesto (if using). Season with salt and pepper and crushed red pepper flakes.
- Stir in the grilled veggies, then the basil and/or arugula. Top with cheese and toasted pine nuts and serve.
Notes
- The veggies: Swap in or out your favorite vegetables! Broccoli and bell peppers are some other favorites.
