This pasta dish turned out to be one of the best pasta dishes that I have made is a long time. the balance of flavors was just right and I was proud to use many items from my back yard...WOOT! (I know, woot is so dated)
Put a large pot of heavily salted water on to boil for the pasta. The pasta I used was Barilla Plus curly Q pastas, about half a box.
In a large saute pan I added
1 medium light green zucchini, rough chopped into 1/2" to 1" chunks (from my garden)
1 medium yellow summer squash, rough chopped into 1/2" to 1" chunks (from my garden)
2 medium to large tomatoes, rough chopped into 1/2" to 1" chunks (from my garden)
4 large cloves of garlic, sliced thin or roughly chopped (from my garden)
1 Tablespoon olive oil
a dash of salt
I sauteed this on low covered for about 5 minutes, until the water boiled.
I dumped the pasta into the boiling water and then quickly cleaned about 1 pound of raw shrimp (took about 3 minutes)
In the saute pan I pushed the softened squash tomato mix to one side and place the cleared side over the burner and added about 1/2 cup white wine and let it cook down a little. Dump the shrimp into the saucy area, and by now the pasta should be just barely al dente. Scoop the pasta over the shrimp. once all the pasta is added stir all together, if more liquid is needed add some pasta water.
season with salt and pepper to taste and add fresh oregano (from my garden), about 1.5 tablespoons.
Cover pot until done, pasta just the way you like it...for me about 2 minutes.
Dish up into a serving bowl and drizzle with a little olive oil and a squeeze of some fresh lemon.
