  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 zucchini sliced and quartered
  • 1 yellow squash sliced and quartered

  • 1 pinch salt
  • ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian flat leaf parsley leaves chopped

Instructions

  • Heat a skillet over low to medium heat. Add the melted butter and sauté the garlic until it’s slightly browned. Add the zucchini, squash, and cherry tomatoes, and season with salt and black pepper. Lightly toss and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
