Squash Sticks

I recently bought this weird looking device called a mandolin. Have you heard of it? Let me just say, it is awesome. Perfectly evened sliced veggies, either matchsticks, julienned, or sliced. You can adjust the thickness of the slices and do a number of garnishes with it. I decided to experiment and make a short spaghetti using yellow squash. This is a great way to get your kids to eat their veggies. My theory is that if the veggies are cut in cute shapes, we are more likely to eat them. At least, that's how it works for me! Anyways, I cut up some squash and boiled them until tender. Topped with a feta cream sauce and sauteed spinach. It was delicious. The only thing is that I cut my thumb pretty bad on the mandolin blade and it still really hurts. So be careful and use that finger gaurd!
