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.

    The squash pasta is making my mouth salivate. Looking into the ingredients plus your photos are making me want to have this dish right now for today's lunch. But I guess, I will be to hold it off, go out and get me some lovely squash. Can't wait to cook this in the next few days and pack them to work. Thanks for coming over too!! Cheers, Jo
