With summer quickly coming to a close, it also means the end of fresh produce. This is a great recipe for all of those summer tomatoes and cucumbers growing in the garden.
Ingredients:
1 Green Pepper
1 Cucumber
1 Ripe Tomato ( I used several grape tomatoes)
3 Cups of Uncooked Pasta Shells
1/2 Lime
1 cup of chopped Cilantro
Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper
1/4 cup of shredded Parmesan Cheese
1. Chop tomatoes, pepper, cucumber, and cilantro into small pieces. I like to season the vegetables with salt and pepper to bring out their flavor.
2. Cook and drain pasta. After draining the pasta, coat the bottom of the pot with olive oil, pour pasta back into the pot and mix. Add some salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese. Let the pasta cool.
3. Combine the pasta and vegetables in a large serving bowl. Add more cheese and lime juice.
4. Chill in refrigerator and serve.
