Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep the squash; cook the cavatelli
Bring a medium sauce pot of generously salted water to a boil for the cavatelli. Separate the cavatelli so the noodles don’t clump together during cooking.
- Cut the yellow squash and zucchini in half lengthwise, then crosswise into ¼-inch-thick half-moons.
To the pot of boiling water, stir in the cavatelli and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain the cavatelli, reserving ⅓ cup [⅔ cup] pasta cooking water. Return the cavatelli to the pot; toss with 1 to 2 teaspoons oil to keep the noodles from sticking. While the water is heating and the cavatelli is cooking, prepare the parsley and start the sauce.
2
Prep the parsley; make the sauce
- 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. Stir in the Sicilian spice blend and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the yellow squash and zucchini, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and starting to soften, 3 to 4 minutes.
Stir in the pesto, cavatelli, reserved pasta cooking water, and arugula and cook until the sauce is heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the cavatelli and sauce to individual bowls, garnish with the parsley, and serve.
