Summer Squash and Basil Pasta

A delicious spin on classic pasta!

I recently tried the recipe for Summer Squash and Basil Pasta from Bon Appetit. It was so delicious, and a very different texture than what I am used to. The sauteed squash eventually gets saucy if cooked long enough, and makes it very ideal as a way to coat big pieces of pasta. I definitely recommend it as a summer meal!
