INSTRUCTIONS
In a glass baking dish arrange the squash half, cut side down, pour 1/4 cup
water around it, and cover the dish tightly with microwave-safe plastic
wrap. Microwave the squash at high power (100%) for 12 minutes, or until it
is soft when pressed, and let it stand, covered, for 3 minutes. In a large
bowl whisk together the oil, 1/4 cup of the basil, the oregano, and 2
tablespoons of the Parmesan, stir in the tomatoes, and season the mixture
with salt and pepper. While the squash is still warm scrape it with a fork
to form strands, add the strands to the tomato mixture, and toss the
mixture until it is combined. Divide the mixture between 2 bowls, sprinkle
the remaining 1 tablespoon Parmesan over it, and garnish it with the
additional basil.
Serves 2.

A Message from our Provider:
“Our hopelessness and our helplessness are no barrier to (God’s) work. Indeed our utter incapacity is often the prop He delights to use for His next act… We are facing one of the principles of Yahweh’s modus operandi. When His people are without strength, without resources, without hope, without human gimmicks – then He loves to stretch forth His hand from heaven. Once we see where God often begins we will understand how we may be encouraged. #Ralph Davis”
