"This recipe was shared by a local CSA menu planning service, through our CSA. Their website is www.localthyme.com This easy dish takes only a few minutes to cook, which is a relief on hot summer days. If you have a side burner on a gas grill, you can boil the water for the pasta outside to keep the kitchen even cooler."
