A few summers ago, we were given a big bag of yellow squash from someone’s garden. Although it’s an ingredient I’ve used occasionally, I didn’t know a ton of recipes for it, and I wasn’t sure exactly what to do with it.
But I had some extra sausage, and a bit of Parmesan cheese, so I figured I would throw a few things in a skillet and see what happened. And the result was delicious!
This is the perfect recipe for a garden harvest day, when you’ve been outside all afternoon, and you don’t feel like spending a ton of time on dinner. It’s a way to use a few of the plentiful harvest that comes from growing your own squash. And it hits all the savory umami flavor notes just right.
