Ingredients:
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cups chopped summer squash and/or zucchini
2 jalapenos, seeded and chopped
2 cups chopped tomatoes (or 14 oz can)
2 cups fresh or frozen corn
2 teaspoons chili powder
salt and pepper to taste
14 ounces Neufchatel cheese
1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
Directions:
Heat olive oil over medium heat in a pot. Saute garlic and oinion for 3 minutes. Add zucchini, yellow squash, jalapenos, tomatoes and spices. Cook 10 minutes or so until the vegetables start softening. Add corn and heat through. (Don't let the squash get mushy.) Stir in the Neufchatel cheese and remove from heat. Top with cilantro. This can be served as a side dish, but it's rich enough to eat on its own.
