Summer Vegetable and Pesto Pasta

 1 Jar Barilla Creamy Genovese Pesto
 ½ Box Barilla Fettuccine (whole box for 4 people)
 1 Zucchini, sliced
 1 Summer Yellow Squash, sliced
 1 cup Grape Tomatoes, sliced
 1 Shuck of Corn, off the Cobb
 2 tbsp Olive Oil
 1 tsp Garlic, minced
 2 tbsp Butter
 ¼ cup Reserved Pasta Water
 ½ cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
 Salt & Pepper to taste
1

Start by preparing the vegetables. Wash and dry zucchini, squash, corn and tomatoes. Chop up squash and zucchini into half-moon shapes. Slice tomatoes in half. Cook and cut the corn off the cob. (You can boil or microwave for 4 minutes).

2

Heat up olive oil in a pan on medium low. Add in garlic and mix until fragrant.

3

Add in all vegetables and toss. Lightly season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and cook for 5 minutes until tender. Remove the lid and continue cooking so the liquid starts to evaporate.

4

Boil salted water and add in pasta. Make sure to keep an eye on the time so it’s perfectly al dente. Let vegetables cook on low while pasta cooks.

5

Just before pasta is ready, add butter into the vegetables and mix.

6

Add Barilla Creamy Genovese Pesto on top of vegetables followed by the strained pasta and a splash of pasta water. Mix very well. Pasta will become creamy and glossy!

7

Add some fresh Parmesan cheese and enjoy!
