- Begin by putting a medium-sized pot of water on to boil. Cook Linguine according to package instructions, about 6-8 minutes for a perfect al dente bite. Strain, return to pot (without rinsing), cover, and set aside.
- In a blender or food processor, combine all pesto ingredients, aside from the oil, and pulse to break up the leafy ingredients. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, blending until desired consistency, about 3 minutes. Pro tip: If using a blender that becomes clogged add a small amount of water, a tablespoon at a time, to keep the machine blending. You may also choose to pre-crush your garlic before blending.
- In a large saucepan, melt butter and lightly saute garden vegetables for 5-7 minutes on medium-low, turning 2-3 times. Your vegetables should still be crips, and brightly colored when done (take care not to burn or allow the squash to become mushy.)
- Lower heat, and add Linguine and pesto to the saucepan of vegetables. Stir to coat, and heat through, 1-2 minutes. Plate immediately, and top with desired garnishes.
Serve with a rustic, crusty bread and butter, and your favorite wine. We recommend a crisp white, such as a Sauvignon Blanc, or a light-bodied red, such as Pinot Noir.
