Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds summer squash and or zucchini, cut into matchsticks
1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more
1/4 cup almonds, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, sliced
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup Parmesan, finely grated

Steps:

  • Place squash in a colander set in the sink or over a large bowl and toss with 1 teaspoon salt.

Meanwhile, toast almonds in a large dry skillet over medium heat, tossing occasionally, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate; let cool. Heat oil in same skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring often, until fragrant but not browned, about 2 minutes. Add squash and cook, tossing occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Fold in Parmesan and season with salt and pepper. Fold in almonds. 1 dish, 4 ways - Switch up this squash sauté with different flavor combinations: Chile plus Lime: Cook 1 chopped jalapeño along with garlic and red pepper flakes.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some garlic and red pepper flakes, which helped to give it more flavor.

Not bad! I thought the addition of thyme was a bit overpowering, so I might try it with basil or oregano next time.
