Step-by-Step Instructions
- Wash and chop the summer squash and zucchini into 1/4-inch rounds. Mince the garlic and zest a lemon. Squeeze the lemon for juice and set aside.
- In a large pot, fill with water and add kosher salt. Bring to a boil and add the pasta. Cook according to package instructions, around 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add chopped summer squash and zucchini, sauté for 4-5 minutes until tender.
- Add the cooked pasta directly into the skillet with vegetables. Toss together, adding reserved pasta water to combine flavors.
- Add lemon juice, butter, and goat cheese to the skillet. Toss on low heat until cheese melts and coats the pasta. Adjust thickness with more pasta water if needed.
- Serve the pasta in bowls, garnishing with red pepper flakes, toasted pine nuts, fresh basil, and grated Parmesan.
