Ingredients

⅓ lb - dried linguine noodles
2 - summer squash
1 tbsp - olive oil
¼ cup - fresh mint
1 - lemon
¼ cup - parmesan cheese

Instructions

Cook the pasta according to package instructions. I like the lightly oil and generously salt my water. Once done, reserve 2/3 cup of the cooking water and drain the pasta.
Slice or spiralize your squash.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add in your olive oil and let get hot. Add in the squash and cook to your desired doneness. I like mine almost still raw but heated all of the way through which takes about 3-4 minutes. You can also cook the squash longer, about 8 minutes, until it's softer and cooked through a bit better.
Turn the heat to low and add in the mint slices, lemon zest, lemon juice, drained pasta, and 1/2 cup of the cooking water (the other 1/3 cup is just in case you think it needs a bit more). Toss until combined.
Divide the pasta among 2 plates and grate on the parmesan to each dish.
Salt and pepper to taste and then ENJOY!!
