Sometimes it’s just got to be super simple.\u00a0While the recipes are fun, fun, fun – I don’t always plan ahead and ingredients don’t get purchased. I had some yellow squash and since I had only used my slicer<\/a> with zucchini, I thought I’d give it a try.\u00a0I ended up slicing 1 large yellow squash with the spaghetti shaped cutter.<\/p>\n

I put chopped black olives, marinated sun-dried tomatoes and garlic in a\u00a0saut\u00e9\u00a0pan with some of the flavored oil from the jar of tomatoes. I added some oregano, Italian seasoning, fresh basil, salt and ground pepper.<\/p>\n

Sure, a good pasta craving would send me to the nearest Italian restaurant… but quick mid-week meals of mostly veggies are a much healthier option.<\/p>\n

I still want to try a terriyaki stir fry with my faux noodles, that might be next on the list!
