Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 9 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine balsamic vinegar, 1/4 cup oil, garlic, Dijon mustard, and pepper in a small bowl. Set sauce aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, squash, and onion. Cook for 3 minutes; stir in balsamic sauce mixture.

BALSAMIC GLAZED SALMON WITH ALFREDO PASTA PRIMAVERA
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400° F (200° C). Line a baking sheet with foil and grease the foil lightly with oil. Place the fish, skin-side-down, on the prepared baking sheet. Whisk together the vinegar, honey, basil, olive oil, garlic and Dijon mustard. Brush half of the mixture over the salmon. Bake the fish, on the middle rack, basting with the remaining glaze, for 10 minutes. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes or until salmon is browned and flakes easily when tested with a fork. Serve with the prepared Alfredo Pasta Primavera.
BALSAMIC PASTA PRIMAVERA
I made this up, inspired by a recipe from Food and Wine. While this looks like a lot of vinegar, don't worry! By boiling it, the acidity goes away and a thick, semi-sweet/savory syrup is left.
