Grilled Squash and Tomatoes With Spaghetti

During the colder seasons in the North it is still okay to break out the grill and do some outdoor cooking.  And, if you're into eating things that have no face (meatless food) then this recipe will suit you just fine.  Grilled Squash and Tomatoes With Spaghetti.


INGREDIENTS:
2 small yellow squash or zucchini, halved lengthwise
3 medium sized tomatoes, halved
1 1/2 tablespoos of fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon dried basil
Salt
1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces of spaghetti, prepared according to package directions
2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese

PREPARATION:
In a medium bown, combine the squash, tomatoes, lemon juice, oil, garlic, basil, salt and pepper.

Grill the vegetables over a medium-hot grill until they are slightly softened and browned, up to 20 minutes, depending on your grill.  Let cool until cool enough to handle. Cut into bite-sized pieces.

Toss the pasta and vegetables together in a large serving bowl.  Top everything with the cheese.

This should make about 8 servings providing you didn't invite  Uncle Jim over for the feast.  If you did, then perhaps you should double the recipe.
