Photo: Fettuccine With Summer Vegetables and Goat Cheese Recipe
Ingredients
- Kosher salt
- 1 large yellow tomato, seeded and diced
- 1 small yellow squash, finely diced
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh chives (about 1 small bunch)
- Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 ounces soft goat cheese, crumbled
- 12 ounces dried egg fettuccine
- 4 ounces wax beans (about 2 cups), trimmed and halved lengthwise
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Directions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Toss the tomato, squash, chives, lemon zest and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large bowl. Season with salt. Sprinkle in half of the goat cheese.
Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook as the label directs, adding the wax beans to the pot during the last 3 minutes of cooking. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking water, then drain the pasta and beans and add to the bowl with the vegetables. Drizzle with the reserved cooking water and the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and toss until the goat cheese begins to melt. Add the parmesan and toss. Divide among bowls and top with the remaining goat cheese.

My husband and son in law are not adventurous eaters and eyed this at the dinner table with trepidation. It is all gone....nuff said. A few little changes based on what i had on hand...I didnt have lemon zest and used1 tb lemon juice. I used mushroom fettuccini I had gotten at the farmers market. Salt...i started with half a tsp...not quite enough and ended up with 1 tsp. I also added a little pink peppercorn.
