Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb zucchini, washed, ends trimmed (2 medium)
1 lb yellow squash, washed, trimmed (2 medium)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons white wine
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup fresh basil, cut in thin ribbons
2 medium tomatoes, peeled, seeded, diced
2 cups tomato sauce
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated

Steps:

  • Slice the zucchini and squash lengthwise into 1/8" strips on a mandoline.(If you don't have a mandoline, the backside of a spatula shaped cheese slicer works just as well). Be sure the slices are not stuck together.
  • Heat the olive oil over high heat in a large skillet.
  • Just before olive oil begins to smoke, add the cut squash and stir.
  • Keep stirring for 3-4 minutes, or until squash strips are barely wilted.
  • Add the white wine, garlic, salt and pepper.
  • Toss in the basil and tomatoes.
  • Stir in tomato sauce, heavy cream, and half of the Parmasen cheese.
  • Bring to a boil.
  • Serve immediately with the remaining Parmesan sprinkled over the top. Enjoy!
