Squash and Zucchini “Linguine” with Goat Cheese

Since I love summer squash types, I was certain this would be good, but it was exceptional. I made it at a friend's house, and she couldn't find her mandoline. That was the only stumbling block - it took about 20-25 minutes to thinly slice, then slice again to make the linguine strips. The mandoline with julienne setting would have been perfect. I used the whole squash (not discarding the seedy middle part) and it was fine. Maybe not the perfection served in restaurants, but it was fine. Next time I may make it with just regular coin-slices of squash (a lot easier) and I may mix some of the goat cheese into the pan and let it melt into the mixture and then just garnish with more. With the goat cheese only on the top, as a garnish, only people who grabbed some of the cheese got any. I liked (very much) the goat cheese in it, so would not want to eliminate that. I'll definitely make this again. Allow plenty of time, though. Seems like this took longer to make than you might think.

I had low expectations going into this recipe but was wildly surprised.  It was fabulous and I can't wait to make it again!  All of the flavors somehow work together.  Even my husband, a faithful meat-eater, loved it.  I also sliced cherry tomatoes and sauteed them with the shallot and mushrooms.  It was a nice addition.
