Angel Hair Pasta with Summer Vegetables, originally uploaded by speedvegan.

Summer has definitely arrived in Florida. I made fresh pasta with lots of veggies to celebrate.

8 oz angel hair pasta
3 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 zucchini, chopped
1 yellow pepper, chopped
1 tomato, chopped
1/4 cup basil leaves
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
salt and pepper (to taste)
1/4 cup pine nuts

1. Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

2. In a large pan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic, zucchini, pepper and tomato. Cook for 3-4 minutes.

3. Add basil and red pepper flakes. Cook for one more minute.

4. Stir in the cooked pasta. Add remaining 2 tbsp olive oil and stir for a minute.

5. Season with salt and pepper and serve. Top with pine nuts.

I loved sitting in the back patio and enjoying this meal. Next time, I won’t make something like this on a spinning night. I definitely ate TOO fast !
