Best 6 Simple Squash And Basil Saute Recipes

SQUASH SAUTE

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute the zucchini, squash and onion in oil for 4-6 minutes or until crisp-tender. Add the remaining ingredients; cook 1 minute longer.

SAUTEED SUMMER SQUASH SIDE DISH

Steps:

• Heat olive oil over medium heat in a medium-sized skillet, about 1 minute. Add scallions and garlic; saute in the hot oil until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add zucchini and squash; season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Saute until squash is tender, 8 to 12 minutes.
• Divide mixture evenly among plates. Garnish with basil.

SAUTEED SUMMER SQUASH WITH BASIL

Steps:

• Cut the squash in thick slices. Heat the oil in a large skillet and saute the squash over high heat so that it is golden brown on both sides, but not overcooked. It should still be slightly crunchy. Remove with a slotted spoon as the pieces are cooked and place them in a serving bowl.
• Add the garlic to skillet, cook until golden. Add with oil left in pan to the squash. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with basil and toss. Serve hot or at room temperature.

PAN-COOKED SUMMER SQUASH WITH TOMATOES AND BASIL

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.
• Add the remaining olive oil to the pan, then the garlic. Cook, stirring, just until fragrant -- less than 30 seconds. Stir in the tomatoes. Cook, stirring, until the tomatoes have begun to cook down, about five minutes. Return the zucchini to the pan, add salt and pepper to taste, and reduce the heat to medium. Cook, stirring often, until the zucchini is tender and translucent and the tomatoes have cooked down to a fragrant sauce. Stir in the basil, and taste and adjust seasonings. Remove from the heat and serve hot, or allow to cool and serve at room temperature.

YELLOW SQUASH AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute squash in oil until tender. Add the tomatoes, basil, pepper and salt. Reduce heat to medium; cook 1-2 minutes longer or until heated through.

SUMMER SQUASH SAUTÉ WITH TOMATO & BASIL

Steps:

• After you have chopped all your ingredients, heat a large skillet with 1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil over medium to medium high flame. Before oil smokes, add onion and bell pepper pieces. Sauté for a minute, then add both squash. I like to cook this dish with kind of a high flame to caramelize the outside of the vegetables. If you don't feel comfortable doing this, cook at a lower temp. Be sure to flip or stir your vegetables, so that they don't burn. About half way through cooking the squash (about 5 min.), add the tomatoes. Then just about a minute before the squash is ready (about another 4 min.), stir in the fresh basil, and season with salt, pepper, & granulated garlic. Then enjoy!
