Ingredients

8 oz. (4 C.) short pasta (I use rotini)

1 T olive oil

2 pinches kosher salt

1 T. olive oil

1 T margarine or butter

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 C. fresh basil leaves, coarsely chopped

1 tub fresh mushrooms, wiped clean and sliced

2 small zucchini, cut in half lengthwise, sliced 1/2 inch thick

2 small yellow squash, cut in half lengthwise, sliced 1/2 inch thick

Juice of 1/2 a lemon

6 Roma tomatoes, chopped

1 (6 oz.) can black olives, sliced

1/2 C. freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh ground black pepper

Directions

Cook pasta in boiling water with kosher salt and 1 T olive oil

While pasta is boiling, in a large skillet over medium heat, sauté garlic in olive oil and margarine

Add basil, mushrooms, zucchini and yellow squash; stir-fry until vegetables are tender-crisp, about 4 minutes.

Squeeze lemon juice over veggies as they are cooking

Stir in tomatoes and black olives; heat through.

Toss vegetables with hot pasta, that has been drained and rinsed, 1/4 C. Parmesan cheese, and fresh ground black pepper.

Serve and sprinkle remaining Parmesan cheese over the top.

I made something like this yesterday, but with onions, red and yellow peppers, zucchini and spinach. I make this dish often and vary the veggies, using whatever I have on hand or looks good at the market; also sometimes use thyme instead of basil. This is good with whole wheat pasta, too. One of my favorites.
