How to Make Farfalle With Zucchini Yellow Squash And Mint

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the farfalle pasta and cook according to package directions, until al dente.
  2. Before draining the pasta, reserve about 1 cup of the boiling pasta water.
  3. While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add the sliced scallions and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook and stir for 2 minutes, until fragrant.
  5. Add the diced zucchini and yellow squash to the skillet. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid as directed above.
  7. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the zucchini and squash mixture.
  8. Stir in the chopped basil and mint.
  9. Gradually add the reserved pasta water, a little at a time, to create a light sauce.
  10. Stir in the Parmesan cheese.
  11. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  12. Serve immediately, topped with extra Parmesan cheese, if desired.
