Pasta with Olive Oil and Garlic Sauce

This is one of my favorite pasta dishes, but I only really get to make it for lunches since I usually just make it with leftover frozen pasta. It's best if you have a nice chunk of bread to sop up the sauce when you're done. It's also good without the vegetables if you don't have anything handy.


Pasta with Olive Oil and Garlic Sauce
Leftover frozen pasta, thawed
1/2 cup olive oil
1 cup frozen chicken broth (about 1 oz)
2-3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 medium squash (or any other veggies you have on hand), chopped
dash crushed red pepper, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper
fresh grated parmesan cheese
Heat olive oil and chicken broth over high heat. Add squash and cook for 2-3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add garlic and spices. Cook until squash is at desired tenderness. Add pasta to sauce and toss to combine. Cook until pasta is hot. Transfer to bowl and add gobs and gobs of parmesan cheese.
