Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Combine the zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes, fennel, onion, garlic and oregano in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, red pepper flakes and a pinch each of salt and pepper and give it a good toss. Dump that out onto 2 baking sheets and spread it out evenly. Roast until the squash and other vegetables begin to caramelize, 15 to 25 minutes. Scrape the vegetables into a large bowl and cover with a plate to keep warm.
- The pasta water should be boiling by now. Add the spaghetti and stir to separate the strands. Cook until al dente, 8 to 9 minutes, then drain.
- Toss the spaghetti with the vegetable mixture. Squeeze the lemon juice over the top and toss together. Divide among bowls. Garnish with parmesan, if desired.

PASTA WITH WINTER SQUASH AND TOMATOES
I got this one out of the New York Times and I had to post it here so I would not lose it or forget about it. If you want, you can shred the squash instead of cubing it and this will reduce your time in the kitchen.

Tips:
- Choose the right squash: For this recipe, it is recommended to use a sweet variety of winter squash, such as butternut squash, kabocha squash, or acorn squash.
- Roast the squash: Roasting the squash intensifies its flavor and brings out its natural sweetness. Make sure to roast the squash until it is tender and slightly caramelized.
- Use ripe tomatoes: Ripe tomatoes will add a burst of flavor to the dish. If you don't have ripe tomatoes on hand, you can use canned diced tomatoes instead.
- Add some heat: If you like a little spice, you can add some red pepper flakes or chili powder to the dish. You can also use a spicy variety of sausage, such as hot Italian sausage.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
This pasta with winter squash and tomatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The roasted squash and tomatoes add a burst of flavor to the dish, while the sausage and cheese make it hearty and satisfying. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and memorable meal that your family and friends will love.
