Yummy Pasta

The other day we didn't have much in our fridge or pantry, but I did have enough ingredients to whip up this yummy pasta.  Most of my family loved it, so I thought I'd share...

1 lb raw shrimp,  peeled and de-veined

1 lg zucchini, sliced

1 lg yellow squash, sliced

2 medium tomatoes, diced

1/2 box bow tie pasta (or any pasta of your choice) cooked al-dente

1 small white onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 Tbsp fresh basil, torn or cut

Olive Oil- enough to just cover the bottom of pan

3/4 stick butter (I use margarine because of Tanner's dairy allergy)

1/2  to 1 cup white wine (you can use chicken stock if you'd rather)

In a large fry pan, coat the bottom with olive oil and melt butter.  When melted, add onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.  Add garlic.  Allow to cook a minute or two in the onion/oil/butter mixture.  Watch carefully...garlic burns and when it does it tastes NASTY!!

Add in the zucchini and yellow squash and cook for 2-3 minutes--just until softened but not mushy.  Add tomatoes, shrimp, and white wine and let cook just until shrimp turn pink.  Add fresh basil and pasta, mix well, and serve.

We like to sprinkle ours with Parmesan cheese.

YUM!
