To make summer spaghetti, start by boiling a pot of salted water and cooking your spaghetti noodles according to package instructions. In a separate pan, sauté your choice of vegetables (such as zucchini, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, and onions) in olive oil until they are tender. Once the vegetables are cooked, add in some chopped fresh herbs (such as basil or parsley) and garlic. Drain the cooked spaghetti and add it to the pan with the vegetables. Toss everything together and season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve hot and enjoy your summer spaghetti!
While spaghetti is the traditional pasta used for this dish, you can definitely use any type of pasta you prefer. Some great alternatives for summer spaghetti include angel hair, linguine, or even penne. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly, as different types of pasta may cook at different rates.
To keep your summer spaghetti light and refreshing, try using a light sauce such as a lemon garlic olive oil or a simple tomato and basil sauce. You can also add in plenty of fresh vegetables and herbs for added flavor and nutrition. Additionally, try serving your summer spaghetti with a light salad or fresh fruit for a complete and balanced meal.
While summer spaghetti is best enjoyed fresh, you can make it ahead of time and store it in the fridge for a few days. Just make sure to reheat it gently and add a little extra olive oil or lemon juice to refresh the flavors. You can also add in some extra fresh herbs or vegetables before serving to liven it up.
If you are looking to make your summer spaghetti gluten-free, there are a few options. First, you can use gluten-free pasta made from alternative flours such as rice or quinoa. You can also use zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash as a gluten-free alternative. Additionally, make sure to use gluten-free ingredients for your sauce and toppings, such as gluten-free soy sauce or tamari for added flavor.
