🧄 Mediterranean penne


Hi Reader,

Now that zucchini is season here in California, I've been experimenting with different ways to enjoy it.

One of my favorites is Mediterranean Penne.

It features tender summer squash, sweet cherry tomatoes, and buttery pine nuts, along with garlic and balsamic for seasoning.

And it's easy to make in 30 minutes!

Love and Veggies,

Amy
