This was dinner for my family tonight. Another great use of summer veggies, easy to prepare, and the kitchen stays relatively cool too (you only need to cook pasta indoors, unless you have a fancy schmancy grill with a burner and then you can do it outside). There's a lot of prepping veggies in this recipe, but other than that it is quick and easy to do. All you do is toss some veggies (orange bell pepper, zucchini, eggplant, cherry tomatoes, cremini mushrooms, and some cipollini onions- or whatever veggies you happen to have on hand that you can skewer) onto skewers and grill them for about 5-7 minutes. These get tossed with some cooked fusilli pasta, 1 minced garlic clove, some extra-virgin olive oil, chopped fresh basil, sea salt, and black pepper. Super simple, very easy- the colors let you know that this is healthy for you- another recipe that just screams summertime! The flavor of the grilled veggies really adds depth of flavor, but it is still so light and fresh. I know I'll be making this dish every summer- a great way to use up whatever veggies you have on hand and make them taste great!
My rating- 8
