chicken and squash spaghetti


this dish is a new favorite. i was given a GIANT butternut squash and tomatoes fresh from a local garden and felt the need to put them to use pronto. (all measurements are approximate as i don't measure as i cook)
start by peeling and dicing squash into 1/2 - 1" cubes. this squash was so big i only used the neck for this dish. dice tomato and 2 chicken breasts into bite sized pieces.
get your pasta into boiling water now because cooktimes are about the same for pasta and other stuff. in large skillet combine chicken, tomato, squash, approx. 2 cloves of chopped garlic, and a wee bit of e.v.o.o.. saute until chicken is cooked through and squash is soft. (approx. 8-10min.)
drain pasta and add chicken/squash mixture. add as much parmesan cheese as your tastes demand and enjoy.
(this was still amazing reheated as leftovers)
