Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 30m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 pound summer squash, diced 1/2 to 3/4 inch
Salt to taste
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound tomatoes, grated on the large holes of a box grater, or peeled, seeded and diced
Pinch of sugar
Kernels from 1 ear sweet corn
1 1/2 cups cooked pintos or borlotti beans, with 3/4 to 1 cup of their broth or, if using canned beans, 1/2 to 3/4 cup water
2 tablespoons slivered basil leaves
Freshly ground pepper
3/4 pound medium pasta shells
1 to 2 ounces Parmesan or pecorino Romano, grated optional

Steps:

  • Begin heating a large pot of water for the pasta.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a wide, heavy skillet. Add the summer squash. Cook, stirring, until the squash begins to color, three to five minutes. Season with salt, and add the garlic. Stir until fragrant, just a few seconds, and add the tomatoes and a pinch of sugar. Cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes have cooked down and smell fragrant, five to eight minutes. Stir in the corn, beans and bean broth or water, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Turn the heat to medium-low, and simmer for five minutes. Stir in the basil, and keep warm.
  • When the water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the pasta. Boil, following the timing directions on the package but checking a minute before the indicated time. When the pasta is cooked al dente, remove 1/2 cup of the cooking water, then drain the pasta and toss with the vegetables and beans. If the vegetable and bean mixture seems dry, moisten with pasta water to taste. Add the cheese, toss again and serve.

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes in juice
2 pounds Kabocha or butternut squash, halved, seeded, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 15- to 16-ounce can black beans, rinsed, drained

  • Use a variety of colors and textures: This will make the dish more visually appealing and interesting to eat. For example, you could use yellow squash, zucchini, red bell pepper, and corn.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices: This is a great way to add flavor and depth to the dish. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, garlic, and chili powder.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served fresh out of the pan. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
