Summer produce has my heart. From the vibrant colors to the sweetness of the flavors, they never disappoint in any dish. This recipe highlights late summer produce by showcasing it in a bowl of Aglio e Olio. I love the simplicity of a veggie pasta, and this one makes me sing!

Look at the beauty of these summer veggies! Fresh corn, zucchini, cherry tomatoes and fresh parsley…

Saute those beautiful veggies in olive oil so all of their natural sweetness comes out.

Throw in your pasta, parmesan cheese, pasta water and toss for a stunning meal.

This is a plate of love. What a wonderful dish to end summer on!
