Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 pounds young fresh summer squash
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
3 tablespoons fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Cut the squash in thick slices. Heat the oil in a large skillet and saute the squash over high heat so that it is golden brown on both sides, but not overcooked. It should still be slightly crunchy. Remove with a slotted spoon as the pieces are cooked and place them in a serving bowl.
  • Add the garlic to skillet, cook until golden. Add with oil left in pan to the squash. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with basil and toss. Serve hot or at room temperature.
