Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Angel hair pasta
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 2 medium Yellow squash
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the angel hair pasta.
Slice the zucchini and yellow squash lengthwise into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick.
In a large bowl, toss the zucchini and yellow squash strips with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Thread the cherry tomatoes onto skewers (if using a grill) to prevent them from falling through the grates.
Grill the zucchini, yellow squash, and cherry tomatoes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until lightly charred and tender. Remove from the grill and set aside to cool slightly.
Cook the angel hair pasta according to the package instructions, about 4-5 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Slice the grilled zucchini and yellow squash into bite-sized pieces and add them to the skillet along with the grilled cherry tomatoes.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing everything together. If the mixture seems dry, add a few tablespoons of the reserved pasta water at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Stir in the lemon juice and chopped fresh basil leaves. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve immediately, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy your grilled summer squash and tomatoes with angel hair pasta!
