Zucchini Pasta with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce and Chicken
  • 6 roma tomatoes
  • 3 red bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 large sweet onion, halved
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes

  1. Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet; cook and stir garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir canned crushed tomatoes, basil, grilled tomatoes, bell peppers, and onion into skillet; bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Puree vegetable mixture with a stick blender; season with salt and pepper and keep at a simmer.
  4. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; drop in summer squash and zucchini spirals and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Drain water from pot; lay spirals on paper towels to drain completely.
  5. Place squash spirals on individual plates; top with a portion of cooked chicken, a generous amount of red pepper sauce, and Parmesan cheese.
