Ingredients
  

  • 454 grams dry ziti pasta, (1 lb)
  • 2 yellow squash, (I will determine this by weight)
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, shredded, plus additional for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper, divided
  • ½ teaspoon Mrs. Dash Seasoning, (garlic and herb)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

Instructions
 

  • Heat a pot of salted water to a boil, then cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain well and put in a large mixing bowl.
  • Slice squash and quarter the pieces. I will work out how much squash in weight when I make this.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non stick pan. When hot, add the squash and season with the ½ salt, ½ pepper, and Mrs. Dash seasoning. Cook until the squash is tender but not soggy or falling apart.
  • Add the squash to the pasta, add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and the ½ cup Parmesan cheese. Toss to mix together.
  • Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Low cost per serving.
Variant: 1. Add diced sautéed smoked sausage, ham, or spam.
