Dinner Tonight: Spaghetti with Zucchini and Squash

I have a variation on this you may enjoy. Take one yellow squash, one zucchini, and one ripe and wonderful tomato. Chop into chunks of roughly equal size. With about 1 TBS of olive oil, saute one clove of garlic (minced). Add squash and zucc, let cook for a few minutes until softened. Add tomato, along with some salt, pepper, and fresh herbs (today I used oregano, basil also works well). Serve as a side, or toss with pasta.
Yum- a dish that screams summer freshness!

Dinner Tonight: Spaghetti with Zucchini and Squash

I loveeeee Summer squash (heck, Winter squash too for that matter)! This pic is so darned cute though! I never saw such plump, lil' dumplings of squash in my life! They are usually elongated and not all chubby...so cute! *MUAH*! :D

Oh! And, I love my summer squash just olive oiled up a bit with some fresh lemon thyme, fresh ground pepper and some kosher salt...real simple and REALLY good! If you want to UP it a notch, you can make some cucumber dip but I love mine just about naked. :)

Dinner Tonight: Spaghetti with Zucchini and Squash

This recipe reminds me of something my mom used to make for us on Fridays during Lent, when meat was a no-no -- same ingredients plus some red bell pepper for color. She definitely added lots of pecorino romano, too...
