Veggie "Pasta" with Zucchini from The Peach Ladies

I'm a big fan of Twitter for a variety of reasons, but one of the biggest ones is because I am constantly getting article ideas from it. I follow the Loudoun Farmer's Market account, and it was one of their tweets that led me to a delicious dish for this week's column.

This recipe for this veggie "pasta" definitely makes a delicious side dish, but could also be a light main dish as well. Summer is the time for squash, and I found some giant ones when I went out last weekend.

For those of you who have been to the Leesburg farmer's market on Saturdays, you've probably noticed a veggie stand right next to Deli South. It's not officially part of the farmer's market, but it carries delicious fruit and vegetables grown in West Virginia.

The farm doesn't have an official name; people just call them "The Peach Ladies." They sell, large, sweet peaches along with giant zucchini and yellow squash. You can also buy corn, plums and more.

I bought a zucchini and a yellow squash and set off to make my veggie "pasta." The recipe for this couldn't be easier: after all, the entire thing fit into 140 characters.

Veggie "Pasta" with Zucchini from The Peach Ladies

• 1 zucchini from The Peach Ladies
• 1 yellow squash from The Peach Ladies
• 2 carrots
• 4 cloves of garlic
• 3 tbs butter
• 3 tbs extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup Parmesan or Grana Padano cheese
• salt and pepper to taste

Take the measurements above with a grain of salt. That's approximately what I used, but the amount of butter and EVOO you'll need is dependent on the size of the zucchini and squash that you buy.

Use the shredder attachment on your food processor to shred the zucchini, squash and carrots. Saute in the butter and EVOO mix, add salt and pepper to taste. Toss with fresh Parmesan or Grana Padano cheese.
