1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper
6 oz. linguini or fusilli
1/4 c. freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1. Cut summer squash and zucchini into 1/4 inch thick slices; then cut slices into very thin strips so they have peel on ends. Cut red pepper into very thin strips.

2. Preheat a wok or large skillet over high heat; add olive oil. Add squash, sweet red pepper, mushrooms and garlic. Stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir together the white wine, salt, basil, tarragon and crushed red pepper. Drizzle mixture over vegetables; toss to coat. Heat through.
