So I was trying to figure out all the wonderful produce from my produce box. Then I found this little recipe and used almost everything from my produce box. This is so heavenly and healthy!

Ingredients
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 TB veg oil
1 large carrot, peeled and sliced
1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 cup scallop squash(or whatever squash u have. I just happened to have these wonderful squash)
2 TB butter
1/2 white part of leek, sliced
2 lb cherry tomato, cut in have
1/2 TB dried basil (or double for fresh)
1/2 TB dried parsley (or double for fresh)
Pinch of sugar
S & P

Direction

Sautee onion and garlic in oil for 2 min
Add carrot and saute for 4 min
Add red pepper, zucchini for 2-3 min
Add butter, leek for 2-3 min
Add tomato, parsley, basil, sugar, S&P, 1/2 cup water and cover to simmer for 20 min
Blend all in a food processor

This tastes wonderful with some whole wheat angel hair pasta!
