Squash-ghetti sauce?*

What else is a girl to make with left over tomatoes, onion, a frozen box of squash and virtually no spices in the kitchen.  Not to mention my only dinner option was frozen pasta and no sauce in sight.  This could actually be a soup - although, you'd probably want a larger portion.  Either way, I was slightly shocked that this was actually delicious.


















Ingredients:
2 tbsp salted butter
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
3 plum tomatoes
1 cup frozen puree squash
1 whole clove garlic
1/4 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper

Servings 6

1. Over LOW heat melt butter and olive oil in a medium sauce pan.

2. Add chopped onion.

3. Cut garlic clove in half and add to pan.

4. Chop tomatoes and add to pan.

5. Microwave or boil squash to soften.  Once soft add to pan.

6. Add garlic salt and ground pepper.

7. Stir occasionally and let simmer for about 20 minutes.

8. Remove garlic clove.
