When a friend dropped off some beautiful zucchini and yellow summer squash from her garden, and while our basil is at its peak, the Williams-Sonoma blog “The Blender” must have had me in mind when they posted their recipe for Spaghettini with Summer Squash and Crispy Speck.

The pasta dish is not heavy at all — perfect for warmer summer evenings.  Particularly if you use garden-fresh basil, it adds a nice aroma and little herbal bite to the dish.  This recipe is definitely one worth making again, quick and easy enough for a weeknight meal.
