Directions: |
Directions:1.) Preheat the oven to 450. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
2.) Put the zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes, fennel, onion, garlic, and thyme on a sheet pan, drizzle well with olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Toss around and arrange so it's one layer (as best you can).
3.) Roast until the squash and other vegetables begin to caramelize, 15 to 25 minutes. Meanwhile, get that pasta cookin, and take a moment to look Nayna in the eyes and make fun of her. Nayna, if it's you following the recipe, please go to the mirror and make fun of yourself.
4.) Cook the linguini (I go a few minutes under package instructions so it's very al dente), drain, and reserve a cup of the pasta water.
5.) Toss the spaghetti with the vegetable mixture. Squeeze the lemon juice over the top and toss together, adding a few tablespoons of pasta water if it looks at all dry. Divide among bowls, drizzle with olive oil, and top with parm and basil (and ricotta if you're a boss like that). |

We recommend enjoying this dish on a sunny day with a nice glass of cold white wine. Congratulations on your wedding, we are so happy for you!
