Part Three of my Organic Gardening Adventure- by Susan Tucker

Gardening is one of the most rewarding experiences I can think of. And, the biggest reward of MY garden is the bounty of squash! (Especially since not much else has survived). I never even knew that I liked it ....until now. If your garden is anything like my garden, than you're most certainly looking for some summer squash recipes. Here is a recipe help you along the way.

Squash & Spaghetti Summer Surprise
2 freshly picked summer squash
10 or so cherry tomatoes, halved
any other veggies you'd like to toss in
1/2 yellow onion
olive oil
garlic
1 cup fat free chicken broth
fresh basil
1 lb fresh pasta (in the refrigerator section)


Saute onion and garlic in large sauce pan, add squash. Pour in about a cup of broth. Cook for about 8 minutes. In the meantime, cook pasta by package directions (takes 2 min), toss with olive oil and basil. Add squash mixture and serve.
