Linguine with Summer Vegetables

This delicious dish has all of my favorite summer vegetables over pasta:  Linguine with Summer Vegetables.

THE VEGETABLES are what help to chisel off the layer of winter “fluff” I’ve accumulated from all of the winter comfort food.  Let’s be real… no need to lie about it.  If you don’t have that problem, then you’re truly blessed.

And I’m super jealous.

I recently saw this recipe on the cover of Real Simple Magazine while standing in line at a checkout, and just knew I had to make it (with a few changes).

This healthy, elegant dish looks hard to prepare but it’s not!  CRAZY EASY.  Just saute fresh corn and leeks with garlic until soft, then add the squash, zucchini and tomatoes.  Simmer in a little chicken broth until the veggies are tender and serve over linguine.

You can also add cooked chicken breast or turkey sausage if you’re feeling the need for protein.

You’re so welcome!!! 🙂  What are your favorite summer veggies?
