A pasta dinner is what you make of it. A heavy-handed helping layered with too much sauce and cheese can leave a gal feeling lethargic. But when prepared with colorful, seasonal ingredients like zucchini, goat cheese and lemon, it makes for a light, savory summer supper.

Adapted from a recipe in the June issue of Bon Appetit, this beautiful bowlful of fresh fettuccine was tossed with a sauce made of green zucchini, yellow summer squash, olive oil, shallots, garlic, goat cheese, lemon and herbes de Provence. It's topped with what appears to be the only thing that could make it more summery than it already is: chiffonade of basil.

As one commenter on the photographer's Flickr page said, "It's possible that you just captured summer in a bowl." Agreed!
