Mexican Squash Over Angel Hair Pasta


This week I purchased the Veggie Pack - Mexican from Bountiful Baskets. I have never had Mexican squash before and I was anxious to try it.   This is what I came up with.


2 Mexican Squash - 1" dice
1/4 cup diced onions
1/4 cup diced bell pepper
6 cherry tomatoes - sliced in two
2 Tbsp Olive oil
1 clove minced garlic
Salt & Pepper to taste
Basil (fresh or dried) to taste
4 servings Prepared Angel Hair Pasta

1. Prepare angel hair pasta. Add a bit of olive oil and basil after it has been cooked and drained.

2. Add olive oil to a medium high skillet. Add onions, bell pepper and saute' briefly before adding squash, tomatoes and garlic. Add Salt, pepper, and basil. Saute until tender.

3. Serve squash mixture over pasta and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese.  Bread sticks or homemade sourdough croutons go great with this dish.

"This dish is so summer fresh tasting and great for a light dinner after a hot afternoon."

Serves 2 large servings or 4 light servings.
