Yummy Veggies!!

I decided to make pasta & veggies for dinner tonight. We have really been in the mood for fresh veggies lately. I used about 2 cups of chopped broccoli florets and 2 yellow summer squash. We didn't eat any meat tonight. I love to make simple pasta dishes because they are tasty and fresh. You can use really any veggies--asparagus, peppers, carrots, etc. I typically use bowtie pasta. 

I started by boiling my bowtie pasta. While that was cooking I started my veggies. I peeled and minced 4 fresh garlic cloves. I chopped up 2 cups of broccoli florets and 2 yellow summer squash. I cut the squash into about 1" thick pieces because we don't like it mushy. I heated a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in my wok on medium-high heat and let the garlic cook for about a minute until it was just turning golden. Then I added the veggies and sauteed them about 4 minutes until tender-crisp. I added a little seasoning salt, garlic & herb seasoning, black pepper, fresh grated parmesan and tossed in the pasta. Yum.
