Serving

8 oz uncooked penne rigate (about 2 cups)
1 tbsp butter
1 small zucchini , halved lengthwise and sliced (about 3/4 cup)
1 small yellow squash , halved lengthwise and sliced (about 1/2 cup)
1/2 cup sugar snap peas, trimmed
1/2 cup halved grape tomatoes
1/2 cup cilantro pesto
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
