Summer squash is one of my all-time favorite foods. Grilled, boiled, mixed with scrambled eggs and ketchup (what can I say… I love ketchup!). I could honestly eat squash every day. In the summer when it is plentiful, I try new twists on my old favorite.
With thyme taking over my herb garden, I decided to make some thyme pesto and toss it with the squash. Super yum! Even the kids came back for seconds….and thirds. There was none left for lunch the next day. Darn!
Toss the pesto with pasta…heck, add the squash to that and..enjoy the bounty of summer.
