Squash Noodles w/Rabe & Capers

This turned out so well, I'm blogging while I'm eating it!
Peel six to eight little or three to four larger yellow squash or zucchini lengthwise into "noodles". Chop into one to two inch pieces half a bunch of broccoli rabe. Peel and roughly chop two large cloves garlic.
Saute in a tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, over medium high heat, two anchovy filets. Smash until they have fallen apart and turned several shades lighter. They should lose their fishy smell and become nutty. (You could easily vegan-ize this by skipping this step). Throw in the rabe and a big splash of water. Saute for half a minute, add the garlic. Continue to toss and saute. Throw in a quarter cup dulse strips, pulled apart to toss in well. Saute another minute or so, scoot everything to one side, add the squash. Let sit to cook a bit as the "noodles" will fall apart easily if abused as they cook. Pull the rabe mixture onto the top of the noodles and gently rearrange a bit. Give another toss after they begin to look cooked and add two tablespoons capers. Give one more gentle toss, squeeze on half a lemon, off the heat, one last gentle toss, and serve! Wowwy!
