SAUTéED YELLOW SQUASH AND ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until just softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 minute. Add the zucchini, squash, Italian seasoning and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini and squash are tender and beginning to brown in some spots, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.

ZUCCHINI WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Remove the ends of the zucchini and, if they are large, cut in half lengthwise. Slice the zucchini diagonally in 1/2-inch slices. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan and add the onions. Cook for 10 minutes on medium-low heat, until they start to brown. Add half the zucchini, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to the pan and cook, tossing occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes, until just cooked through. Sprinkle with Parmesan and cook for 30 seconds more. Remove to a serving platter and repeat with the rest of the zucchini. Serve immediately.
• Note: If you cook too much zucchini in one pan, you end up steaming rather than sauteing it. I prefer to cook it in 2 batches.
