Ingredients

    1 c. whole wheat pasta (spiral or bowtie)
    3 oz. shrimp
    2 c. fresh spinach
    1/2 yelow summer squash sliced into very thin rounds
    1tsp. olive oil
    lemon juice and zest
    salt and pepper
    1/2 tbsp. of capers (the original calls for kalamata olives, but I didn't have any on hand - the capers worked really well)

Directions

boil the pasta according to directions, toss shrimp in with boiling pasta when about half way done (for frozen shrimp) with only a minute or so left for pasta for fresh shrimp.

slice the squash very thin, almost see-through. Put the squash and spinach in bowl.

Drain pasta and shrimp when cooked, whiile the pasta is still warm toss with veggies, capers, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt and pper. the warm pasta will "cook" the spinach and squash slightly.

Serve immediately or cool and serve later. I made the day before and was great for a brown bag lunch.
