I made this for my husband and two teen boys last night. They all went back for seconds. It was delicious and easy. Sadly, I substituted the Orecchiette noodles for Penne because even though I bought them for this recipe, I couldn’t find them. Where on earth could they have gone? There’s only one place noodles go. I was really bummed, because the shapes together really seem to pull this into a perfect look. I can’t wait to make it again. It was the first time I’ve cooked with capers, and it added a nice zing.

In reply to Jeanine Donofrio. As I write this reply, I'm eating the leftovers straight from the fridge, and it's even good cold!!!

I made this tonight for my husband and I to celebrate the first day of summer. My only substitution was basil instead of rosemary. We both cleaned our plates! It also only took 30 minutes from start to finish, including the prep and most of the cleaning (although my husband does help as a sous chef and dishwasher!). I will most definitely make this again. Thank you for the great recipe!

One of my favorite salads! A friend made it for me years ago and every summer since I’ve been determined to make it. This was finally the year! So glad I finally took the time to find the recipe so I can put it in my rotation each summer when the summer squash is ready!

So good especially considering how very simple it is. A great late summer dish.

What do you think about doing this as a brown rice salad instead of with pasta?

In reply to Jeanine Donofrio. Thank you so much! The butternut squash one looks fabulous. I am such an orchette freak so I will just use that shape:) Love all your recipes so much they always turn out so well my boyfriend thinks I am a great cook but I keep telling him no I am just good at replicating Love and Lemons:)
