Summer Squash Pasta Primavera image

SINCE I eat very little meat, I'm always on the lookout for vegetarian and low-fat recipes. I came up with this recipe after a lot of experimenting. I used tomatoes as a base for the sauce, and my version of pasta primavera has been enjoyed by both family and friends.-Clara DelVitto, Midlothian, Virginia

This dish was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't be making it again.

I made this dish with zucchini instead of summer squash and it was still delicious. The sauce is so flavorful and the vegetables are perfectly cooked.
