Pasta With Mushrooms and Squash in Cream Sauce

*this meal was inspired by "Fusilli with gorgonzola and mushroom sauce" in Perfect Vegetarian.

Ingredients:

1 box/bag of rotini pasta

1 yellow squash

1 jar of alfredo sauce (or you can make it your

self with heavy cream and cheese)

2 cloves of chopped garlic

fresh mushrooms

olive oil

chicken (optional)

basil to garnish

-Cook the noodles, then drain out excess water.

-Meanwhile, cook the chicken (we fried it in oil, but you could easily barbeque it). Set aside.

-Using the same pan, pour in olive oil, then fry the squash. Next add in the mushrooms. Then add in the chopped garlic. Let the flavors get to know each other. Pour in the alfredo sauce, bring to a boil. Simmer for a little bit, then take off the heat.

-Add in the noodles, garnish with fresh chopped basil.

I thought it was delicious! :-) The squash was from my mom's garden and the basil from mine. :-) So fun.

Enjoy! Serves 4.
