1 bunch broccoli, cut to about 1/2 to 1 inch heads or cubes of stalk
1 summer squash, cubed
1 lb ish pasta linguine, spaghetti, rotini it doesn't really matter
3 chicken breasts
1 t salt
1/2 t pepper
8 T olive oil, divided
8 cloves garlic, crushed and minced
1/2 t red pepper flakes
dried basil (or fresh if you have it)
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add broccoli and boil 2 minutes. Add summer squash and boil 1 more minute. Remove veggies with slotted spoon. Add pasta and cook according to package directions. While pasta is cooking season meat with salt and pepper. Sautee in olive oil until no longer pink. Add garlic and red pepper. Cook 1 more minute. Set aside. Drain pasta reserving 1 cup of the liquid. Add liquid and veggies to chicken and simmer. Add pasta and 1/2 t salt. Stir to combine. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with basil. Serve immediately.
Notes:This is SOOOOO yummy! Use whatever veggies you have on hand. Don't be afraid of the garlic. It is a little zippy. If you have kiddos that don't like spice, just omit the red pepper.
