cRAzy PAstA

Ah Summer! The arrival of Shark Week, Sunshine, and fucking SQUASH at the Wallingford Farmer's Market.

This is some crazy fucking pasta I made on a lazy summer afternoon:

1/2 Package of linguine (I hate linguine, no wonder 1/2 a package has been in the pantry for ages)
2 lil tomatoes (cut into sections)
Yellow summer squash (cut thin on a bias)
couple carrots (in half and then in half)
1/2 red onion (long, thin slices)
fresh thyme and basil
hard romano/pecorino cheese
garlic (2 cloves)

Chop all those veggies up and make sure the garlic is finely grated because there's no SAUCE on this pasta.

Get the pasta going.

Caramelize the onions in olive oil with a dash of salt. Add the carrots and the squash and cook only until they still have some crunch, making sure you add the garlic and herbs about 2-3 minutes before you've finished.

Pile the veggies on top of the linguine, add the fresh tomatoes and finely grated cheese.

Watch shark week and think about how nice it is not to have warm blood in a cold sea.
