Grilled Eggplant and Squash Pasta
Eggplant, yellow squash and zucchini are so plentiful during the Summer months, we can't help but use them for so many fresh and flavorful dishes.
We bought fresh pasta from the Italian Market in Philly, which cooks in just a few minutes, compared to dry pasta, so this was a super quick and easy dish.
Sun dried tomato flakes, basil, oregano and parsley pull it all together with richness and flavor.
