This week I've been feeling a little off... It was a slow start getting up the energy and will to bake/cook something... but last night I finally did it!
I made this yummy, easy pasta dish with one of my yellow squash.
Ingredients
small yellow squash (they are more tender)- 2 for 1 serving- increase quantity as needed
any type of pasta noodle (whole grain preferred)
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
butter (optional)
McCormick Pizza Seasoning (spice grinder) or other Italian seasoning
freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Wash the squash, and slice into 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick pieces. If it is too thin, the squash will be soggy.
Steam or boil the squash with a little olive oil and the Italian seasoning of your choice, add a few pats of butter if you dare!
Boil the pasta according to package directions, add olive oil for flavor (and to keep pasta from sticking together); set aside.
Drain most of the liquid from squash; I like to reserve a little for flavor.
Toss the squash with Parmesan cheese and serve on a bed of pasta. Add more Italian seasoning if you choose.
I actually changed this a little. I cooked my squash on the stove with some olive oil instead of steaming or boiling it and I didn't add any italian seasoning I just added salt and pepper and the parmesan cheese. It ended up being really tasty and really easy.. It was light and just enough to fill me up!
