3	tablespoons	olive oil
1	x	black pepper	to taste
1	x	salt	to taste
1	x	parsley leaves	chopped to taste
1	x	basil	chopped to taste
28	ounces	chicken broth	low fat
6	ounces	tomato paste
4	x	italian plum (roma) tomatoes	chopped

4	cloves	garlic	chopped
1	x	yellow squash	chopped into a medium dice
5	each	scallions, spring or green onions	green and white parts chopped
1	pound	angel hair pasta

Heat the oil in a large saucepan and add the scallions and mushrooms.

Sauté for a few minutes and then add the squash. As soon as it softens add the garlic and sauté one or to minutes more.

Add chicken broth, tomatoes and half of the tomato paste.

Bring to a boil and then simmer uncovered for 15 minutes. You may not need all the paste.

This sauce is supposed to be light so check the consistency as it's simmering, adding more paste if necessary.

Add the herbs one minute before the sauce is done cooking.

Add salt and pepper to taste.

Since this is a light sauce, a delicate pasta like angel hair is best.

Serve with grated Parmesan cheese.
