Happy Father’s Day!
I’ve been trying to think of a Father’s Day recipe for weeks. What always comes to mind is something beefy and hearty. Except it’s been too hot to cook anything like that.
I made this dish yesterday because we had lots of summer squash and zucchini. I used my new Veggetti spiral cutter that I love. Alexander has so much fun using it.
We cut up our vegetables and I sautéed them with fresh basil from our plant we started 4 weeks ago.
It was so easy and fast.
Much to my surprise, my husband loved it. He normally prefers stews. He ate seconds and then thirds. So here you have it Dads, my recipe for a heart healthy tasty vegetable spaghetti.
Enjoy!
Avec Amour, Victoria and Alexander
