Pasta Primavera & Breaded Squash

Primavera means "season of spring." Pasta primavera usually consists of vegetables and herbs in a light sauce.

Sauce

5T olive oil (or butter/margarine)
1c chopped fresh herbs
sauteed onion, bell pepper, squash, cherry toms
1/4c grated Parmesan
sprinkle cayenne pepper
juice 2 lemons
1/2c chopped walnuts

The herbs I used were from the back yard: basil, chives, oregano, parsley, tarragon and rosemary.
This dish comes together pretty quickly.

The sauteed veggies I used were leftover from the quiche a few days ago. I heated up the olive oil, added the herbs and veggies, and another handful or 2 or fresh cherry tomatoes. Once the veggies were heated through I added the other ingredients. This quantity would be good for 5 servings of noodles.

Breaded Zucchini and Summer Squash.
Real easy. Its just like breading the eggplant for eggplant parmesan. Heat oven to 380.
Scramble 2 raw eggs in one bowl. Fill another bowl with Italian breadcrumbs. (There is a recipe for Italian breadcrumbs on the blog.) Slice the veggies in long thin strips. Not too thin. A medium sized zucchini should make 4 or 5 strips. Spray or oil a sheet tray. Dip the squash in egg, then cover in breadcrumbs, then lay on the sheet. Cook each side for 12-15minutes.
