Blue Apron ~ Fusilli con Buco Pasta

Summer squash, Pecorine cheese and mint was added to this pasta to give a tasty and easy summer dish. It was quite filling and I have enough left over for two lunches.  I will definitely make this again.

The pasta in this dish is fusilli con buco.  "Con buco" is an Italian phrase meaning "with a hole".  The pasta, therefore, is a springy, hollow noodle. 

Pecorino Cheese was melted into the warm pasta.  Pecorino cheese is one of the world's oldest known varieties of sheep's milk cheese.  The name comes from the Italian word "pecora", which means "sheep."

I also learned that the word "squash" comes from a New England Native American word meaning "eaten raw."
