"I think of New York as a puree and the rest of the United States as vegetable soup." -Spalding Gray, Author

I have loved yellow squash since I was a kid. For some this is strange but we ate a lot of veggies when I was growing up and my mother cooked great squash. The southern tradition was to cook it much longer but I do like squash that's not as overcooked as most people remember it. This recipe is quick and easy, full of flavor and by not overcooking the squash it has great texture.
This recipe is a quick and simple way to improve your Med Diet Score for vegetables. This recipe is great with almost any fresh herb you might choose – especially dill and oregano.
