Ingredients

Preparation

Directions

1. Cook the Mafaldine Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the mafaldine pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.

2. Prepare the Summer Squash

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced summer squash and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender.

3. Brown the Butter

Continue cooking the butter with the squash until it turns golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.

4. Combine Ingredients

Add the cooked mafaldine pasta to the skillet along with the reserved pasta water, chopped basil, grated Parmesan cheese, and black pepper. Toss everything together until well combined.

5. Add Breadcrumbs

Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the pasta and gently toss to combine. Let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the breadcrumbs are heated through.

6. Season and Serve

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and additional black pepper if needed. Serve warm, garnished with extra Parmesan and basil.
