I made this dish while at SouthWinds Farm due to an excess of carrots and summer squash. It is a simple, not exactly healthy, but certainly hearty dish. Serves 2.

Ingredients⌗

  • 8oz dried pasta
  • 1 medium summer squash, chopped into rounds
  • 2 medium carrots, chopped into rounds
  • 1 Italian sausage
  • 4 tbsp salted butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • black pepper
  • Italian seasoning

Procedure⌗

  1. Cook the pasta according to package directions while performing the rest of the steps.
  2. Brown the sausage over medium heat in a non-stick pan, while crumbling into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Set aside the sausage, leaving the grease in the pan. Add the butter to this grease.
  4. Add the carrots to the greasy pan, and saute for ~5 minutes.
  5. Add the summer squash and garlic to the pan, continue sauteing for ~8 minutes, or until the squash is softened. Stir in a generous pinch of black pepper and Italian seasoning.
  6. Combine with the pasta, then add back the sausage along with the feta cheese.
  7. Serve hot.
