Recipe Summary Savory Summer Squash With Bacon
I love squash but wanted a new recipe with fewer calories. I did a search on flavorful ingredients and came up with a bunch of pasta recipes. So I thought, why not substitute yellow squash for pasta? And it worked! All the ingredients can be prepared in advance and refrigerated until ready to cook. Long, slender young squash make for the best texture.Ingredients | Summer Savory Alternative3 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces1 tablespoon olive oil1 clove garlic, minced1 sweet onion, chopped2 pounds yellow squash, cut into bite-size pieces4 pickled artichoke hearts, chopped2 tablespoons capers with liquid, or more to taste½ teaspoon crushed fresh rosemary leavessalt to tasteground white pepper to tasteDirectionsPlace 2 paper towels on a microwave-safe plate; add bacon and top with another paper towel.
