Linguine with Vegetable Medley

Ingredients:

We're going to make a cool pasta with veggies. Cut up 1 tomato, 2 small yellow squash, and 2 small cucumbers.


Step 1:

In a mixing bowl toss the vegetables with 1 tbsp white wine vinegar, 1 tbsp parsley, 2 tbsp freshly chopped basil, 1 clove of finely chopped garlic, and 2 tbsp olive oil. Adjust olive oil and vinegar to taste.


Step 2:

Mix together thoroughly, sampling as much as possible to...uh...make sure it taste right. We're shooting for a taste that runs parallel to the tomatoes, with an accent of cucumber sweetness to pick up the pasta with olive oil.

Stir everything together, cover, and let cool.


Step 3:

Boil fresh pasta for a few minutes. Really, use fresh pasta. Not to say that Buitoni or whatever is fresh, but try your best. Fresh is tastier.

Step 4:

Strain the linguine pasta and stir in olive oil or butter to coat. Top with your veggies.

The linguine pasta with veggie/fruits was very light when mixed together. The cucumber taste outweighed the tomato, but yet kept the whole side fresh.
