Do you have extra zucchini to use from your garden? This summer squash pasta uses yellow squash, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and more. It is a summer garden pasta with a simple sauce and topped with delicious burrata and a balsamic glaze. The best part of this pasta is that it is very easy make!
Featured Ingredients
Zucchini and yellow squash: we use one medium zucchini and one medium yellow squash (or two small zucchinis and two small yellow squash) sliced about the same size. Zucchinis and yellow squash come in all shapes and sizes so don’t fret if you have to use different sizes. More veggies are always a good thing in this pasta. Pasta: use whatever pasta your little heart desires. We used rigatoni noodles. Burrata: burrata is a creamy and delicious cheese that is to be added to the pasta (room temperature or cold) right before serving. Do not try to mix the burrata into the sauce, it will seize and clump. Balsamic glaze: a little balsamic glaze will add the perfect amount of sweetness and tartness to this pasta right before serving.
