Sumptuous Summer Primavera

Let's Get Cooking!

Ingredients & Recipe:

I love pasta and I really enjoy throwing together a delicious off the cuff dish based on what beautiful in season vegetables are at my grocery store or farmers market. I saw gorgeous mushrooms, asparagus, an italian yellow zucchini (which I’d never seen before, so I had to try it!) and of course Meyer lemons! Pasta was calling out to me!

Box spaghetti
12 ounces button mushrooms sliced
2 cups chopped asparagus
1 Italian yellow zucchini
1 small shallot thinly sliced
1/2 red onion thinly sliced
3 Meyer lemons – juiced
Zest of one lemon
4 garlic cloves minced
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
2 teas. oregano
1 teas. onion salt
2 tablespoon tamari soy sauce
6 tablespoon olive oil ) divided.

Make your sauce:
