Paccheri Pasta With Summer Vegetables Recipe

"This refreshing Paccheri Pasta recipe combines the vibrant flavors of fresh vegetables to create a unique summer pasta dish. When I last visited the Amalfi Coast in Italy last year, I was enamored with the vibrant flavors that came through in the simplest of dishes. Back home in Sacramento, I watched Under the Tuscan Sun and was reminded of my time along the Amalfi Coast, driving down winding mountain roads and witnessing a gorgeous sunset! I wanted to recreate some of the Italian food I enjoyed at home, using thoughtfully-sourced ingredients and vegetables from my own garden. Despite growing my own tomatoes, I prefer to use canned tomato sauce and paste – the consistency and deep flavors are something I’ve never been able to achieve on my own. That, and the nostalgia of my own Italian grandmother using the same Contadina product years ago."
