Summer Squash and Zucchini Skillet

This is a tasty way to enjoy summer squash and zucchini from the garden. Feel free to use diced plum tomatoes or tomato wedges in place of the cherry tomatoes.

Ingredients:

  • 2 medium yellow summer squash
  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, or 1 teaspoon dried leaf basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried leaf oregano
  • Dash dried marjoram
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 6 to 12 cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes, cut in quarters

Preparation:

Cut zucchini and summer squash into quarters, lengthwise, then cut in thin slices. Heat olive oil over medium heat; add zucchini, summer squash, and garlic and sauté, stirring frequently, until tender.

Meanwhile, combine remaining ingredients. When squash is tender add the tomato and herb mixture to the pan. Continue cooking, stirring, for just a couple of minutes, until hot and well combined.
Serves 4 to 6.

Great vegetable dish for summer squashAugust 08, 2008By jw6573
"I added some cornstarch in a small amount of water at the end of the cooking time and stirred until the liquid thickened a bit. Then I served over pasta with shredded parmesan cheese. It was very good. We paired it with a shiraz wine."
