SAUTEED SUMMER SQUASH - COOK'S ILLUSTRATED



Sauteed Summer Squash - Cook's Illustrated image

Well, actually it's America's Test Kitchen, but it's the same group. This is really delicious. I could eat 2 lbs of squash at one time....not sure I even need anything else at the meal. I didn't use any herb. You can use zucchini, summer squash or a combo of the two. I think a combination of the two is really pretty.
