Warm Summer Vegetable Pasta is a must have summer dish! Loaded with those fresh and roasted vegetables from the garden (or farmer’s market!) and dressed in the most deliciously light, lemon basil sauce!
My Story
Backyard gardens are booming and here’s the perfect dish to bring all those tasty veggies to life! When I say backyard gardens are booming… I’m not talking about mine. Unfortunately. ????
While our garden may have taken a hit this year, I hope yours has not! I’m still hitting up my local farmer’s market every week so we are definitely not missing out on all the DELICIOUS vegetables that I look forward to every summer.
