Boring night. Hadn't done it in a long time. I might have some food questions later. OK, got one. I like veggies and I like pasta. I only like enough sauce on the pasta to add a slight bit of taste. So, for veggies, I'm thinking green and yellow zuchini, maybe some type of bell pepper, some kind of chunked tomatoes and/or your recommendations. Pasta-I like any kind but favorite is probably angel hair. Sauce-any kind. Show me how to make something tasty out of this.

I would make him a sammich but I don't know if you put mustard or mayo on squirrel. I'm also trying to eat healthier and I've always heard squirrel was pretty greasy if you didn't cook it right.

There you go again with asking me a question that I have a hard time just answering.

If you are using ingredients you probably already have, I would use everything you listed (you forgot onion) and maybe some green peas or green beans maybe even some yellow corn (color).

But my answer changes if you are going shopping first and it depends on what kid of sauce too. Olive oil and garlic, Alfredo, pesto, tomato.......

Depending on what you put in it and how you cut/slice/dice everything and the sauce you use, along with any meat or seafood you add, would change my choice of pasta.

No meat. Some sort of olive oil and garlic sounds good. What veggies would you recommend and how would you prepare them before adding to the pasta?

Red and Yellow peppers halved and sliced.
Tomatoes Roma and diced in about 1/6 chunks
Green and Yellow squash in about 3/4" chunks
I like Spanish onions best, but I use Red onion for color
Broccoli Florettes
Baby Asparagus
Sliced button mushrooms.

I would saute the garlic in the oil on low heat first, sometimes I even let it get a little crisp. Put the broccoli in next, let it steam for a minute or 2. Next the squash, peppers, onions, mushrooms and asparagus. Saute the vegetables for maybe 2-3 minutes (depends on the heat). About a minute before you pull it off the stove add the tomatoes and fresh shaved Parmesan cheese.

Angle hair works good for me with the big chunks.

Slyed all of that over the pasta.

Cracked black pepper over the top.

If you slice and dice smaller and thinner, I prefer a short pasta like Penne.

I just had another thought. Even using fresh tomatoes, you could also add a little sun dried tomato too. Hell yeah!!

Also get a nice soft Italian bread for dippin.

That's what made me think of the sun dried tomatoes. Sweet Bay has a bakery and they make a Sun dried and garlic Italian loaf that is killer.

Like that word. So, no additional sauce. Just juices from the oil/garlic, etc.? I'll be having this tomorrow. Thanks, Behr.

For me, yes. Seriously I make some version of this often. Sometimes just saute fresh spinach in the oil and garlic, mix it in some Penna and put a piece of grilled Salmon on it. Several health benefits.
