I had some yellow and green squash (and basil) from the garden that I need to use up, and this was a great way to do so. 3 minutes was not enough time for the squash to cook, since my squash was rather large and I like it a little on the softer side. This is so simple, yet tasty. Thanks for sharing this.

I have done this before except without the parmesan and basil. The addition of these 2 ingredients made this excellent. I was hoping that my husband would like this, since he didnt care for zucchini or squash in the past, but he refused to try it. :( The kids did try though and my daughter liked it. Thanks for a keeper podapo.

I do this kind of thing all the time in the summer. It's SO good.

This is a great, simple summer side dish. I scaled down the recipe to one of each squash, seasoned them with salt and pepper, and sautéed them in olive oil and a little butter for about 5 minutes – just because that’s how I like my squash. I used dried basil and a little more parmesan than called for and popped it under the broiler for a few minutes to get toasty on top. I loved the basil, and next time might add some garlic to the sauté. My squash-a-phobic DH even gave this one a thumbs up, so I’ll definitely be making this throughout the summer.

A nice side dish, I grlled the veggies on my indoor grill then tossed the rest of the ingredients together, a nice twist for zuchini that I will use throughout the summer when there are lots and lots.
