[quote=Anonymous]Some summery favorites:

Start pasta cooking.  Add a diced zucchini and a cup of corn (frozen works fine) for the last couple of minutes.  Drain.  Add in half a pint of halved grape tomatoes or quartered cherry tomatoes. Stir in pesto--jarred is fine. Top with grated cheese and some crumbled bacon.

Cook pasta.  In separate pan, saute veggies of your choice.  We usually do sliced zucchini + minced garlic or baby spinach, halved grape tomatoes + garlic. If doing zucchini, I usually take it out of the pane, then melt about 4-6oz of goat cheese, thinned with a little pasta water or milk.  If spinach and tomato, I'll melt the cheese right in the same pan. Stir into pasta (top with zucchini or other veggies if you took them out of the pan).  Add fresh black pepper and a little grated cheese.

One of my all-time favorites is pasta with broccoli & garlic.  Add the broccoli for the last few minutes of cooking time for the pasta or microwave it separately.  Saute some minced garlic in olive oil while the pasta cooks (the more the better).  Mix pasta, broccoli, garlic & oil, add lots of black pepper and grated cheese.
