Summer Pasta
Ingredients
All the flavors of summer come together in this simple pasta dish that will impress dinner guests as easily as it will come together quickly on a busy night. It's easily made vegetarian or vegan, too--just swap vegetable broth in place of the chicken broth and replace the Parmesan with a little nutritional yeast.
