This was an easy, tasty way to use up some squash. We enjoyed this recipe for lunch today. We used the grill basket, which worked well. The only modification we made was to substitute linguine for fettucine. Thanks for posting.

This was absolutely wonderful. My squash and zucchini is just coming in the garden and I grilled both together to make this dish. Love the marinade...especially the garlic. Since I have everything growing in the garden I will make this dish again and again. Thanks! Made for ZWT7.

Oh, Mikekey, that's truly a lovely dish. I hate I had to make one deviation - no parsley (store was out). But the basil, the grilled squash, the parm - heaven in a pasta bowl. This will definitely be devoured this and future summers.

We had this last night with grilled salmon (Kitten's Easy and Delicious Grilled Teriyake Salmon Steaks) and we both loved it. I have to confess that we plated the pasta separately and then put the grilled veggies on top and then grated the cheese over all. Very very good. Thanks Mikekey.

I used baby summer squash in this and really enjoyed the blend of fresh basil and parsley. I used linguine and otherwise made the recipes exactly as listed. A very nice one dish meal! Made for Kittencal's Grilling Tag Game. Thanks mikekey! :)
