Categories     weekday, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds medium or small zucchini or other summer squash, thinly sliced or diced depending on what shape squash you use
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound ripe tomatoes, grated on the large holes of a box grater, or peeled, seeded and diced
Salt

1 to 2 tablespoons chopped or slivered fresh basil (to taste)

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat in a wide, heavy skillet. Add the zucchini. Cook, stirring or shaking the pan, until the zucchini is lightly seared and beginning to soften, three to five minutes. Remove from the pan, and set aside.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash. For this recipe, a firm, mild-flavored squash, such as butternut squash or acorn squash, works best.
  • Cut the squash into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too much squash to the pan, it will steam instead of sauté.
  • Cook the squash over medium heat. This will help it cook through without burning.
  • Stir the squash frequently. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Add the tomatoes and onions towards the end of cooking. This will help them retain their flavor and texture.
  • Season the squash to taste. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options.
  • Serve the squash immediately. It is best enjoyed hot off the stove.

Conclusion:

Sautéed squash with tomatoes and onions is a simple but flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover squash. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and healthy meal on the table in no time.
