Springtime Spaghetti

Recipe Description

This recipe was originally from my dd's boyfriends Mom but I've tweaked it a bit and changed the directions to time everything better. You can also make this with cooked chicken instead of the shrimp but the pink of the shrimp along with the colors of the veggies really reminds me of springtime.Or a mix of the 2. May need to add a bit more milk if it is too thick

Preparation Steps:Level of Difficulty:Time Needed:Ingredients:

2 med squash, 1 yellow & 1 green, cut into thin 2"matchsticks
2 med carrots, cut into thin 2"matchsticks
2 cloves garlic, crushed

3/4 lb cooked shrimp, small or a bit bigger

2tsp. flour
1/2c. milk
2/3c. grated parmesan
1tsp salt

4T margarine,divided
1T olive oil

8oz spaghetti

Serves:Directions:
