Adapted from Whole Foods Market

Who doesn't love tomatoes and basil? Add some pasta and fresh veggies and you have one delicious meal! We had never heard of grating zucchini and squash, but it's not as difficult as it sounds and provides a great twist to pasta with vegetables.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
• 2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan, divided
• 1/4 cup chopped basil, divided
• 1/2 lb. farfalle
• 1 zucchini and 1 squash, grated
• 2 tbsp. lemon juice

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray and spread tomatoes on the tray. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle salt and pepper. Then season with 2 tbsp. parmesan and 2 tbsp. basil. Cook in oven for approx. 14 minutes.

While tomatoes are roasting, boil slightly salted water and cook pasta according to package directions. Once pasta is cooked, drain and mix together with zucchini, squash, lemon juice, and remaining parmesan and basil. Mix well.
