butternut-squash/

This is a wonderful recipe collaboration between me and my husband. He was wanting some spaghetti squash and I wanted to make it a little different than we have in the past. Our usual method was to bake it soft and then mix it with garlic, chopped tomatoes, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese and bake longer a baking dish. It is good but I wanted something more. This is what we came up with.

It was such a good dish my four year old ate it, and he has taken to being something of a "picky" eater these days.

Picture will be coming soon.

Easy pasta dish to throw together in about 30 minutes. The egg yolk & parmesan "sauce" creates a creamy but lower-calorie base alternative to most "cream sauces."

This pasta-less dish is a great low-carb alternative!

Delicious spaghetti squash to try vs pasta

A delicious alternative to pasta.

When visiting my friend Shelly, we took a long walk to the local farmers market and bought a variety of fresh summer squash and carrots. Since I love pan frying veggies and garlic, I thought we'd give this a try. It was super yummy, possibly higher in fat than I would like but you can use less olive oil.

Substitute veggies for pasta to get the same texture without the calories and carbs. Use as a vegetarian side dish or main dish.

So simple, So good!!

Can use zucchini in place of summer squash or a combination of the two vegetables

Quick and easy. I started with a bag of spiralized butternut squash. Satisfies the 'pasta' craving. Also can be done with spiralized zucchini.

Creamy sauce and delicious pasta.

Straight from the garden veggies are great with this dish.

This dish uses butternut squash soup as the sauce and has lots of flavor and protein.

just threw this stuff together one night and yum! Good use of garden stuff.
