I’ve been eating so much chicken and kale lately, that I needed to change things up. I switched to spinach, zucchini and decided to order a pack of sliced butternut squash from my deli.

The problem with packages like these, is they don’t last long. So, I looked through my fridge to see what I could come up with. And here’s tonight’s recipe for you.

Ingredients

• 1 package of sliced or diced butternut squash (3 cups)
• 2 cups of cooked ham – diced
• 2 cups of grape tomatoes – halved
• 1 cup of green or white onions
• 2 cups of zucchini – diced
• 2 tbsp of olive oil
• Spices: salt, pepper, basil, garlic plus
• Optional: 1 cup of tomato paste

Preparation

• Heat up a skillet on high heat
• Add in 1 tbsp of olive oil
• Add in the onions
• Heat for a couple of minutes
• Add in the rest of the ingredients
• Add in spices and mix well
• Cover with a lid and cook on medium-high for about 10 minutes or until squash is soft.

Add in a cup of tomato paste to add extra flavour. I’m doing this with my leftovers. Serves about 2 people – or 1 person with left overs for the next day.

ENJOY.
