Summer Squash Pomodoro
- 3/4 pound thin whole-wheat spaghetti
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 yellow summer squash
- 7-8 fresh basil leaves
- 1/2 cup fresh oregano leaves, chopped
- 1 small onion
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
- sea salt, fresh ground black pepper, red pepper flakes to taste
- organic parmesan cheese, to taste
- Set a large pot of salted water to boil.
- While waiting for it to boil, dice the yellow squash into small pieces. (Note that although I used yellow, any variety will do). Salt and pepper it lightly, and set aside.
- Mince onion and garlic.
- Heat olive oil on high in a large wok, and when it is hot, add onion/garlic and saute for approximately 2 minutes.
- Add spaghetti to boiling pot of water. Add squash to wok and saute until soft, approximately 7 minutes.
- Once squash is soft, add the canned tomatoes (use fresh tomatoes for added health, but remember to add a sweetener to balance their acidity).
- Then, add the fresh basil and oregano, then the vinegar and some red pepper flakes. Cook for another 2 minutes.
- Drain the spaghetti, drizzle with olive oil and dish it out onto plates. Top with the mixture from the wok and some parmesan cheese, and serve hot.
