30 Minute Garden Pasta Skillet

30 Minute Garden Pasta Skillet is an easy dinner to put together in the summer using fresh summer vegetables found in your garden or local farmers market.  This healthy, flavorful dinner is a family favorite.

I hope you guys had a nice weekend.  We were in Michigan hanging out with friends, enjoying the lake and even got to do a little Strawberry picking.  Will loved it and couldn’t stop talking about all of the strawberries he picked ate!

Summer really is my favorite time of the year between my gardens, the farmers markets and abundance of fresh vegetables that are everywhere.  My love of these things inspired me to make this 30 Minute Garden Pasta Skillet using the produce from our farmers market and fresh herbs from my garden.

Every Sunday we go to our local farmers market and I stock up on produce including zucchini, sweet corn, tomatoes, garlic and onions. In the summer we make it a family outing and load the kids in the double stroller.  I like taking my son there so he can see all of the unique vegetables and local products like honey and cheese.

If you are a fellow summer produce lover then this is the meal for you. I really enjoy making these pasta dishes because I can modify it to my families tastes along with what I have on hand.  If you don’t have zucchini you can substitute squash or carrots– get creative.
