Sauteed squash and shiny shoes

Sauteed Baby Squash with Basil and Feta (from Cooking Light)
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 4 cups total - thinly sliced zucchini and summer squash
  • 2 cups sliced leek (about 2)
  • 1/2 t salt
  • 1/8 t black pepper
  • 3 T crumbled feta cheese (I actually used a lot more than this...)
  • 2 T finely chopped fresh basil OR basil to taste
Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to pain, swirling to coat; heat 20 seconds.
Add squash and leek to pan; saute 5 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently.
Stir in salt and pepper.
Transfer squash mixture to a serving platter. Sprinkle with cheese and basil.

yield: 6 servings (serving size: 2/3 cup)
* Kristi and I made it last year, and then I made this for a family get-together, and they requested the recipe. It's a winner!


added to a list of things that cheer me up:
















Bought these at The Shops in Waco, Texas.
