Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Cook the farfalle
Bring a medium sauce pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the farfalle and cook until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the farfalle, reserving ¼ cup [½ cup] pasta cooking water. Return the farfalle to the pot, add half the arugula-pistachio pesto, adding more to taste if desired, and toss to combine; cover to keep warm. While the water is heating and the farfalle is cooking, start preparing the rest of the meal.
2
Prep your protein
- Ground meat (including plant based): Cut a small corner from the ground meat packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel.
- Tofu: Pat the tofu dry with paper towels; crumble into ¼-inch pieces.
3
Prep the remaining ingredients; cook your protein and vegetables
- Cut the squash in half lengthwise, then crosswise into ¼-inch-thick half-moons.
- Finely chop, press, or grate the garlic.
- Cut the tomatoes in half.
- Strip the parsley leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves for garnish.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add your protein, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring and breaking up the ground meat if using, until the protein is lightly browned but not yet cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the squash, garlic, and Italian dressing and cook, stirring occasionally, until the squash is tender and your protein is cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes.
4
Finish the pasta
To the pot with the farfalle, add the tomatoes, peas, reserved pasta cooking water, your protein, and squash. Cook over medium-low heat, tossing to combine, until the the ingredients are heated through and the sauce coats the farfalle, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the farfalle, vegetables, and sauce to individual bowls. Garnish with the parsley and serve.
