Penne with Squash and Ricotta

2 pounds mixed green and yellow squash (summer squash)
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves minced garlic
1 pound penne pasta
1/2 bunch fresh basil
1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
Salt
Pepper
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan

In a large pot of salted boiling water cook the squash for 2 minutes. Remove the squash and let cool. Use the water to cook the pasta al dente. Cut into 1/2 inch slices. In a skillet, heat the oil and saute the garlic in it until soft but not brown. Add the squash slices and saute until lightly browned. Mix the penne, squash and basil. Stir in the ricotta and add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with Parmesan cheese.

I think it's important to get the squash browned so it has more flavor and isn't watery. You have to be careful that the garlic doesn't burn while the squash is reaching this stage, and you might end up adding it to the frying pan after the squash so it cooks a shorter time.
