Macaroni with Red Sauce
Uses: Garlic, crookneck squash, mushrooms, tomato

Forgot to take a picture this time...sorry!

2 T butter
4-6 ounces mushrooms, finely chopped
2 T shallots, finely chopped
3 small cloves of garlic, finely chopped
half of a crookneck squash, thinly sliced
1 tomato
2-3 T water
1-2 cups elbow macaroni
canned pasta sauce
salt and pepper
mozzarella cheese

Melt butter in a small frying pan. Add mushrooms and cook down until most of their liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add shallots and garlic and cook another 1-2 minutes. Add squash and cook for a few more minutes, then add tomato and water and cook until squash is tender. Add salt and pepper to taste. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the package directions. When the pasta is cooked, drain it and add the mushroom mixture to it, along with some canned pasta sauce to taste. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and serve.
