Meatless Monday: Yellow Squash, Zucchini, and Cilantro Pasta

June 27, 2016

Today I’m re-sharing an old recipe that I’ve made new. It’s one of my favorites — the Carrot and Zucchini Ribbon Pasta from The Forest Feast. I went to make this delectable dish last week and came to find I had no carrots on hand (how does that even happen?!). But I did have plenty of zucchini and yellow squash from the farm share. With just a few simple swaps, I created a very similar but very different tasting meal. It was quite good, too. Check it out:

Yellow Squash, Zucchini and Cilantro Pasta

adapted from The Forest Feast

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 yellow squash, peeled in ribbons
  • 1 zucchini, peeled in ribbons
  • 2 green onions, thin sliced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 oz dry fettuccine, cooked
  • 1 Tbsp fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • fresh parmesan cheese, finely grated (optional but recommended)

Directions

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute garlic, squash, zucchini, green onions, and salt and pepper for 5-6 minutes. Add the cooked fettuccine and cilantro, and toss to combine. Place the butter on top, allow to melt, and toss until veggies and pasta are coated. Serve hot with a sprinkling of finely grated parmesan cheese.

Squash noodles are the best! I’m not a big cilantro fan, but I bet this would still be delicious without it.

    You can easily swap cilantro for thyme. I just had a lot of cilantro on hand. 🙂
