Penne with Summer Vegetable Sauce



So the first day of Autumn has passed but it certainly still feels like summer here in Southern CA. It's downright hot and nasty right now. I probably should have made a salad for dinner but opted for this summery vegetable pasta made with fresh and beautiful produce: eggplants, zucchini, red bell peppers and mushrooms. Oh, and canned plum tomatoes from Italy! It was adapted from a recipe from 'The Mediterranean Vegan Kitchen' cookbook. It was a delicious celebration of the bounties of summer. Goodbye Summer, I'm looking forward to Fall now!

What a beautiful bowl of pasta! And it looks so tasty, I love all the veggies you used. We had pasta for dinnner too with Classico sauce(Traditional Sweet Basil). I can't complain because I didn't feel like cooking tonight.

Yes, it's super hot and sticky here plus the A/C wasn't working at work:( = I'm looking forward to Fall too.
