This easy sautéed side dish can be made in ONE skillet, so you won't have much of a mess to clean up when you're finished. It really doesn't get any better than that :)
Recipe is below.
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp butter (I use Smart Balance)
12 oz . zucchini (about 2 medium), diced into 1/2-inch pieces
12 oz . yellow squash (about 2 medium), diced into 1/2-inch pieces
1 1/2 cups grape tomatoes
3/4 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tbsp minced garlic
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup finely shredded parmesan cheese
Heat olive oil and butter in a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add in zucchini and squash and sauté 4 minutes.
Add in tomatoes, then evenly sprinkle in Italian seasoning, minced garlic, and season with black pepper to taste.
Continue to saute, tossing occasionally, until squash is tender and tomatoes are beginning to burst, about 3 - 5 minutes longer.
Sprinkle in half the parmesan and toss then sprinkle remaining parmesan over top. Serve warm.
