A hearty entree comes easy tonight with this veggie and pasta combo. Wine lends an extra touch of flavor to the sauce and makes this main dish a winner. —Mike Tchou, Pepper Pike, Ohio

1-1/2 cups uncooked medium pasta shells
1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
1 small onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced

1 small yellow summer squash, quartered and sliced
1 small zucchini, quartered and sliced
1/4 cup dry red wine or reduced-sodium beef broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Directions:
