Fresh from my garden. I came home tonight.
Nick has a standing order to "saute an onion" which he did before he left to pick me up from the train station, only 1 mile from our home.
I approached the house from the back door. I smelled that yummy onion and olive oil smell through the screen. The pasta water was hot. The onion was in the 10 inch saute pan, nicely golden.
I diced one yellow crookneck squash (picked from the garden this morning), put it in the pan with some fennel seed and garlic, covered the pan, and put it on medium high.
Meanwhile, I halved my tomatoes - cherry red and lemon pear. I added a gigantic red one for good measure. Put the tomatoes in with the squash and onion. Meanwhile, I cooked my 3 minute angel hair pasta.
After two minutes, the tomatoes were starting to ooze their juice. I put in some chopped basil from the garden, then drained my pasta, and poured my vegetables on top.
A complete meal, with the addition of some grated parmesan cheese.
Mmmmm--looks fantastic! I can almost taste it here in Chicago!
