Green beans and patty pan squash might seem like an unlikely combination but they are great when combined with pasta.

Here is the recipe...



Ingredients

1/4 pound green beans, cut into one inch pieces
1/4 pound patty pan squash, bite sized if you can get them, or cut larger into bite sized
1/2 pound rotini pasta, cooked
2 cups half and half
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 cup fresh shredded Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup fresh shredded Romano cheese
4 large egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Directions

In a medium heat safe bowl, whisk egg yolks until lightened in color.

Whisk together butter, garlic and half & half, bring to a simmer, in a medium saucepan using medium heat
Add parmesan and Romano cheese and whisk to combine. Remove from heat. Very slowly pour 1 cup of cheese mixture into the egg yolks, continuing to whisk.
