James printed a copy of this recipe and included it in the first CSA boxes distributed. For new members and for those who have yet to try it, please do. My fiancé dislikes squash but I had him raving when I made this. He told me if I wanted to make it every week from now until summer, that would be totally acceptable.    ~Tina

Tina suggests kalamata or a medley of olives instead of black olives for more flavor. Also, a small splash of herb-infused vinegar added to the squash “noodles” never hurts.
