This Summer Squash Pasta recipe includes many of the ingredients our CSA members have been receiving lately. It's also a good step-by-step recipe with pictures for those who need it. I, however, would add a generous portion of Romano or Parmasian Cheese. Ancient Heritage Dairy makes a fantastic young Romano called Rosa. It's aged 5 months, is creamy, salty, and delicious! And local. Portlanders can find these guys at the Saturday downtown market, Sunday Hillsdale or King Markets, New Seasons and Whole Paycheck(ehem...Whole Foods...sorry).
I had the good fortune to try this Thai Cucumber recipe at a recent NoPo block party. It was very tasty. I loved the mint it includes...and I believe it was spearmint instead of wintergreen. It's creator omitted the peanuts as a precaution, since so many people have peanut allergies these days. It was good without but I suspect better with.
