Yellow Squash and Red Pepper Saute

Kitchen Witch Steph's Note:

This is my favorite way to have yellow squash. I have to fight my husband for it because he loves it, too. I am estimating all the amounts. I usually just toss mine together with whatever amounts of squash and red pepper I have. I love the bright red and yellow colors dancing in the pan! Sometimes I sprinkle a little balsamic vinegar at the end and let it caramelize on the squash....not as beautiful a color but quite tasty.

Made this recipe for dinner tonight as the main dish. It's hot and humid and I wanted something light, and this recipe was perfect. I held off adding the red pepper to the skillet. When the squash and onion were nicely browned, I added the peppers and sauteed them until the were tender/crisp. The fresh basil was the perfect garnish. This is a very colorful and pretty dish. Thanks so much for sharing it.
