Categories     Pasta     Vegetable     Quick & Easy     Dinner     Rosemary     Summer     Gourmet     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Serves 4 as a main course

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound dried tagliatelle or fettuccine
1 pound small zucchini (about 5)
1 pound small yellow squash (about 4)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
Accompaniment: freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Steps:

  • Fill a 6-quart pasta pot three fourths full with salted water and bring to a boil for pasta.
  • Trim vegetables and cut into 1 1/2 x 1/4-inch sticks. In a deep 12-inch heavy skillet melt butter over moderate heat and cook vegetables with salt and pepper to taste, stirring gently, 2 minutes. Add rosemary and cook, stirring gently, until vegetables are just tender, about 2 minutes more. Remove skillet from heat.
  • Cook pasta in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until al dente and ladle out and reserve 1 cup pasta water. Drain pasta in a colander and add to sauce with 1/4 cup reserved pasta water and salt and pepper to taste. Heat mixture over low heat, gently tossing (and adding more pasta water as needed if mixture becomes dry), until just heated through.
  • Serve pasta with Parmigiano-Reggiano.

Tips:

  • When selecting rosemary, choose sprigs with vibrant green leaves and avoid any with brown or wilted leaves.
  • To achieve evenly cooked chicken and summer squash, cut them into uniform sizes before skewering.
  • For a smoky flavor, grill the brochettes over medium-high heat. If you prefer a more gentle cooking method, grill them over medium heat.
  • Baste the brochettes with the reserved marinade while grilling to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the brochettes immediately after grilling, garnished with fresh rosemary sprigs and a drizzle of olive oil.

Conclusion:

Rosemary chicken and summer squash brochettes are a delightful dish that combines the savory flavors of rosemary and chicken with the refreshing taste of summer squash. They are perfect for a summer barbecue or a weeknight meal. With just a few simple ingredients and a bit of grilling time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that is sure to impress your friends and family.
