Living the Gourmet: Yellow Squash with Sausage and Pasta

pasta_squash_collage_1

It feels as though winter has finally set in.

These blustery days are accompanied by gray skies and cold rainfalls.

My daughter and I were just saying how our bodies have hit the ‘hibernation’ phase. It’s a real effort to get out of the house these days.

Nights are the best. They are cozy and warm with smell of the crisp night air.

Inside, there is a hearty sauce simmering down, tossed with sauteed yellow squash, a nice pasta and a sprinkle of basil and cheese, nothing quite compares to a nice plate of this.
