Veggie Ratatouille Pasta

Fresh summer veggies cooked just right,
tender whole grain pasta - sounds like an
excuse to ask for seconds to us. Yum!





Ratatouille Pasta


Can you taste "summer"? I mean, summer is a "season" not a "seasoning", right? Well, that may be true but there is nothing like fresh summer veggies to make for a great meal! So I guess I would have to be more "free-thinking" and say, "Yes! You CAN taste summer!

We were fortunate enough to be able to harvest the first three zucchini from our Earthbox garden the other day. I gave two of them away and we used the third one to add to this great dish! Try it - you'll like it!
