Summer Squash Pasta

There are different ways to create pasta or noodles out of summer squash. I used a vegetable spiralizer purchased from Pampered Chef. The small amount of olive oil and fresh garlic cloves transforms your summer squash into a wholesome delight. I served mine with a meat sauce, like what I make for spaghetti. The beautiful yellow summer squash we received as a gift was from Anita Mesman’s garden.

Ingredients

Summer squash, 3 small/medium

Butter, 1 tablespoon

Garlic cloves, 2

Add your favorite topping.
