Easy Primavera

I have basically decided that you can't go wrong with fresh veggies cook gently and serve with a starch (whether it is spaghetti, couscous, quinoa, etc). Topping with a little bit of cheese and fresh herbs doesn't hurt either. This recipe was supposed to be a primavera but I am not sure if it is. Roma beans are wide a flat and came in my CSA but any bean or vegetable substitution should work well.

inspired by a recipe in my CSA which was inspired by a recipe that she couldn't remember who to credit

Ingredients:

• small onion, diced
• two zucchini/summer squash, quartered and sliced
• a handful of Roma beans, ends trimmed, snapped into bite sized pieces
• two cloves garlic, minced
• handful of cherry tomatoes, quartered
  
• 1/3 cup fresh herb of your choice (cinnamon basil, basil, summer savory) minced
• olive oil
• spaghetti
• freshly grated parmesan (I actually use pre-shredded asiago)
  
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

• boil water and make some spaghetti
  
• sauté onion with olive oil
• add squash, beans, and garlic, until crisp tender
• add salt and pepper here or later (or both)
  
• when pasta is almost done add tomatoes for a minute or two and then add herbs
  
• put pasta in a bowl, top with veggies, and sprinkle with cheese
