What's Cooking

...Or what was cooking last night. I am finally getting some produce from my overgrown and under-producing garden. Zucchini. However, I think summer squash is the easiest thing ever to grow and they produce like crazy. So I don't think those two squash say much about my green thumb.

With my first two zucchini I wanted to do something simple that would showcase the squash itself, so i decided to make pasta. That and I am a carboholic. (WHAT! Spell check says Carboholic is not a word! I just can't believe that is true.)The man of the house does the grilling, so he took the squash I sliced and gave it some good grill marks, as requested.
While he did that, I boiled some pasta.
When the squash and pasta were cooked, I sliced the squash and some fresh garlic.
Then I sauteed the garlic in olive oil for one minute. Then added the squash, tossed in the pasta, drizzled on more olive oil and spooned into bowls. The last ingredient I added was some shaved Parmesan.Very Simple, but also very delicious. I originally intended to complete this post by including a recipe, but there really wasn't one. Those were all the ingredients I used and I can't really say how much of each I used. This really is a to taste meal. And It tasted delicious!
(Ok, so I forgot to include the salt and pepper, but that was a given, right?)
