We enjoyed this recipe very much, however, I did make modifications: Used 8 oz. of pasta and 1/2 lb. browned ground beef; decreased butter to 1 Tblsp. It made a great main dish.

Instructions
Start ziti cooking in water. Meanwhile, cut squash into quarters lengthwise, then slice. Melt butter in a large, heavy skillet. Add squash and cook for 5 minutes. Add garlic and green chile, and cook 5 minutes longer, or until squash is cooked through. Stir in green onions, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper, and cook another 3 minutes. Toss with hot pasta, add Parmesan cheese, and toss again. Pass extra grated cheese and the pepper mill for each person to add to taste.
