Green Beans with Spaghetti Squash and Olives

A surprise success using up the veggies on hand. Inspired by three of
my favorite dishes, I pulled this off with:
Spaghetti squash, baked
Green beans, boiled
Garlic, sautéed in olive oil
Sunflower seeds, toasted
Olives, chopped
Parsley, a lot chopped fine
Cherry tomatoes, quartered
Salt
Pepper
Red pepper flakes
We ate it all and Matt gave it a thumbs up.

Pasta and Peppers

We had a few peppers left over from our anniversary meal. Roasted
these under the broiler and made half a batch of Jack Bishop's Roasted
Pepper Sauce for Pasta from Vegetables Every Day. Used a good whole
wheat (light tasting) pasta and it worked well with the smokey
peppers. If it were a heavy whole wheat pasta this sauce would
probably be a bit light to pair. He recommends a regular fettuccine.
