SUMMER SQUASH SAUTÉ WITH TOMATO & BASIL

Steps:

• After you have chopped all your ingredients, heat a large skillet with 1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil over medium to medium high flame. Before oil smokes, add onion and bell pepper pieces. Sauté for a minute, then add both squash. I like to cook this dish with kind of a high flame to caramelize the outside of the vegetables. If you don't feel comfortable doing this, cook at a lower temp. Be sure to flip or stir your vegetables, so that they don't burn. About half way through cooking the squash (about 5 min.), add the tomatoes. Then just about a minute before the squash is ready (about another 4 min.), stir in the fresh basil, and season with salt, pepper, & granulated garlic. Then enjoy!
