CALABAZA CON POLLO (SQUASH WITH CHICKEN)

This is a wonderful chicken and vegetable dish that I grew up with in Texas. I love the way my mother cooks so I asked her for the recipe but of course she grew up not using measuring utensils so this recipe is my interpretation of her recipe.

LINDA'S CUCUZZA SQUASH WITH CHICKEN AND PEPPERONI

I recently discovered Cucuzza squash at our local farm store. It looks like a pale green baseball bat. About the same size. Cucuzza is an Italian squash, now being grown commercially in Louisiana. It must be peeled and seeded. If you cannot get cucuzza you might substitute zucchini. Cucuzza has a mild flavor but a firmer flesh than zucchini.

LINDA'S SPAGHETTI SAUCE

This is a thick, meaty spaghetti sauce that my Mother taught me to make as a teenager, and has received raves in three states. I try to use low salt tomato sauce whenever possible. I don't normally add sugar but based on reviews I've added it in.
