6 oz whole grain spaghetti, cooked, drained, and cooled |
1/4 c fat-free or light italian dressing |
1/2 lb zucchini, finely sliced and quartered |
1/2 lb summer squash, finely sliced and quartered |
salt and pepper to taste |
2 cloves of garlic, coarsely minced |
olive oil |
5 small sweet peppers, grilled with skins removed and finely sliced |
parmesan cheese, for sprinkling |
Directions:
1. 1. In a large bowl, toss together the cooked spaghetti noodles and Italian dressing. Set aside.
2. 2. Lightly drizzle a frying pan with olive oil. Add in the zucchini, summer squash, and garlic. Stir to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Cook over medium-high heat until zucchini and summer squash soften and start to brown. Remove from heat and cool.
