Late Summer Veg and Pasta

This is a pretty simple dish that uses the fresh veg that we have right now. It is what I like to call a two dish meal, meaning that you boil pasta in one and in another cook the veg that is it, clean up is a breeze! You can use any veggie you happen to have the combo below is my favorite but feel free to experiment!
Ingredients:
• 1 box angel hair pasta
• 2 medium to large tomato
• 2 medium summer squash
• 2 green pepper
• 2 red pepper
• 2 medium onion
• 1 handful of sun dried tomato
• 5 cloves of garlic
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
Dice all veggies as seen below
Start the water for the pasta. Take the oil and let it heat up in your pan. Press or mince garlic and let that cook with the onion until the onion is soft and kind of translucent. As seen below.

Don't forget about your pasta water when it comes to a boil put the pasta in! Then add the rest of the veggies to the other pan. As seen below
The vegetables will take about as long to cook as the pasta which is about 9 to 11 minutes. If the veggies get done before just put them on low heat and place a cover over the pan. When pasta is done and drained mix with the vegetable mixture, as seen below.

Plate and enjoy!
