Directions

1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Add the chopped shallots and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.

Add the sliced zucchini, yellow squash, and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
5
Stir in the chunky tomatoes, tomato paste, white wine, and salt (if using). Bring to a simmer.
6
Reduce heat to low and simmer the sauce for 5-8 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
7
Stir in the fresh or dried basil and simmer for 1 more minute.
8
Pour the vegetable sauce over the cooked linguine. Toss gently to coat evenly.
