Here's my recipe contribution for the Concession Stand! :-)

Disappearing Penne Primavera

I call it this because, as soon as I make it, it suddenly disappears! :-p

2 cups uncooked penne or mostaccoli pasta (7 ounces)

1 cup sliced zucchini

1 cup sliced yellow summer squash

1/2 cup reduced-fat Italian dressing

2 cups cubed fully cooked smoked ham

1/4 chopped fresh basil leaves

1/3 cup shredded Italian-blend cheese

Coarsely ground black pepper, if desired

Cook penne as directed on package except during last 3 to 4 minutes of cooking, add zucchini and squash to pasta; drain. Return pasta mixture to saucepan; add ham, dressing and basil. Cook over medium heat until hot, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with Italian cheese and pepper.
