Garden Vegetables with Buttered Noodles

Garden Vegetables with Buttered Noodles

I love this recipe because it’s fast and delicious!  There are many summer days I’d rather be outside in my garden than cooking dinner for an hour or longer.  My kids loved it too!

Recipe

1 package of whole wheat spaghetti noodles, cooked and drained

While the noodles are cooking prepare the vegetables

1-2 pounds chopped tomatoes, set aside

1/2 – 1 cup chopped fresh basil, set aside

1 small zucchini, chopped

1 small yellow summer squash, chopped

1/2 – 1 cup Parmesan cheese

In a large skillet heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter.  Add the squash and zucchini and cook until lightly browned.  Add 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese to the squash and pull off the heat.  In a large bowl, add hot noodles tomatoes, basil, squash mixture,  the rest of the Parmesan and another tablespoon of both olive oil and butter.  Add salt and pepper if needed and enjoy!
