Whole Wheat Pasta and Summer Squash with Tomatoes, Basil, and Pine Nuts

There’s a time and a place for challenging yourself in the kitchen, but Monday after being quarantined in an apartment with a toddler for coming on six weeks is NOT IT.

Our answers are always the same: i don’t know. i don’t know. i don’t know. i don’t know. i don’t know. i don’t know.

But time keeps marching forward, and so do we, whether we like it or not.

I meant to post this yesterday but I was so busy, what with having to walk from one end of my apartment to the other six trillion times and press refresh on Amazon Prime Now every five minutes to try to get a delivery slot.
