Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Cook the penne rigate
Bring a medium sauce pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the penne rigate and cook until just tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables.
2
Prep and cook the vegetables
- Peel and finely chop enough onion to measure ¼ cup [½ cup].
- Cut the squash in half lengthwise, then crosswise into ½-inch-thick half-moons.
- Finely chop, press, or grate enough garlic to measure 1 teaspoon [2 tsp].
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Stir in the onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook until starting to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the squash, garlic, and walnuts, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion and squash are just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the remaining ingredients.
3
Prep the remaining ingredients; finish the pasta
- Cut the tomatoes in half.
- Cut the mozzarella into ½-inch pieces.
- Strip the basil leaves from the stems; coarsely tear or chop the leaves.
