This week for Thirty Minute Thursdays, cooking our way through Giuliano Hazan's Thirty Minute Pasta book with Glennis and whoever else wants to join us, I made Fusilli con le Zucchine Giaffe e Ciliegini (Fusilli with Yellow Squash and Grape Tomatoes), on page 83. This was such a nice side dish. We served it with flank steak on the grill and it seemed like the perfect accompaniment.
The ingredient list: onion, yellow squash, cherry tomatoes, olive oil, thyme, pepper, and fusilli pasta.
This is definitely going in the regular rotation. The only thing I changed was using rotini instead of fusilli as I could not find fusilli without a special trip to another store and it just didn't seem to be something I needed to do since they are both basically the same size and shape, fusilli being only slightly more tightly wound than rotini. It worked fine.
If you like the looks and sounds of it, buy the book as I am a believer in encouraging people to support the authors who put together these fabulous books by buying a copy, so you won't find the recipes posted from this book here. (Buy it, the recipes are easy, the ingredients are easy to locate, it's not pricey, and there are photos of almost all the recipes.)
