Try this squash recipe below, I think it will help your customers enjoy your squash even more!
- Chop or slice the squash and place a light coat of olive oil and some salt and pepper.
- Place in the oven at 400 degrees for 20 min or until cooked and golden.
- Then in a processor put some fresh basil, olive oil and parmesan. You can add a little fresh lemon juice but not much. Your done.
This is great as a sauce for a cold or hot summer pasta salad! And lastly, I would toss in my squash and basil sauce.
I can give you some other recipes that use additional veggies but if you are looking to move the yellow squash this is a winner! You could make it a cold pasta tasting. I would use mini penne pasta this way the sauce will get inside the tubes and make it tastier, very simple to make. I would make a big bowl and just place it on some crushed ice at the market. If you need other ideas let me know, but I think this one just using the squash is really cool.

“Hi Dan,
Here’s an update on the farmer’s market. EVERYONE liked your Summer Squash Pesto. I actually ran out of bread before I ran out of the pesto. Problem is everyone has squash now although I did sell some. I came home from the market with the leftover pesto and made myself some spaghetti and put the pesto on it. Delicious! I gave out your recipe and talked a lot about you and your meatballs. I had a good morning and lots of fun and sold lots of other things. I brought the camera to take pictures to send you and then forgot about it. Oh well, next week.”
This past Saturday, November 14th I did a sampling of Mama Mancini’s Meatballs and Sunday sauce at one of my favorite markets, Kings Supermarkets in Short Hills New Jersey. I always have a great time offering up tastings of My Grandmothers Anna Mancini’s now famous recipe! Like Martha Stewart said to her millions of viewers when I appeared on the show, “Who doesn’t love a good meatball”.
Well Martha, I found her and her name is Faith. When I asked her to try my delicious meatball and sauce she replied “Sorry I don’t eat beef, only chicken”. She wasn’t making this up, her entire shopping cart was full of chicken! As we’re talking about her non-beef diet, Faith began to comment on the amazing smell of my Meatballs and Sunday Sauce simmering in the pan on the table in front of her. Respecting everyone’s choices of food I asked Faith if she wanted to try the sauce without the Meatball. To my surprise, she said, “No, I will try the meatball and the sauce!”
I offered her up a tiny bite and Faith was obviously very apprehensive. What followed next blew me away. I expected her to politely say it was just ok and move on with her cart full of chicken. But Faith actually LOVED it! She had a second piece and bought TWO packages of Mama Mancini Meatballs in Sunday Sauce!
WOW would my Grandmother be so proud, I know I am. I guess Martha was right after all “Who doesn’t love a good meatball”.
