This was so good I loved the combination of spicy flavors. I used yellow patty pan squash and omitted the peas and bell peppers and sauted in balsamic. It was simple, quick and amazingly good!

This is my boyfriend's favorite dish. He loves it over pasta or rice and always gobbles up the leftovers. This is also an excellent way to get more than enough veggies into your diet.
