FEEDS: 2-4

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

• 2 T. canola oil
• ½ red onion, sliced
• salt and pepper
• 1 small zucchini, cut into batons
• 1 small yellow or summer squash, cut into equal sized chunks
• 1 small tomato, diced
• 3 cloves fresh garlic, crushed
• 2 T. basil leaves, whole
• grated Parmesan or Locatelli cheese

LET'S COOK

Heat the oil in a sauté pan over a medium high burner and drop in the sliced onions. Season with some salt and pepper and sauté until the onions take on some color and begin to caramelize. Add the zucchini and summer squash and cook, stirring occasionally, until the squash is limp and also takes on a bit of color. Then add the tomato and garlic and toss into the other ingredients. Finally, scatter the basil leaves over the entire dish, turn off the burner and stir it up to incorporate all the ingredients well. Serve with a scatter of the grated cheese of your choice.

MORE IDEAS:

You can use just one type of squash if you’d like. And, don’t be afraid to add some sliced raw mushrooms to the mix when you add the squash to the sauté pan.
