Italian Garden Skillet

A tasty way to cook up those garden fresh zucchini and squash in a jiffy.

1/4 cup chopped onion
1 Tbsp. butter
2 or 3 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise then cut into 1/4" thick slices
2 or 3 medium yellow summer squash, cut into 1/4" thick slices
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. garlic salt
1/4 tsp. dried basil
1/4 tsp. pepper
3 Roma tomatoes, cut into wedges (or a few grape or cherry tomatoes, halved)
2 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, saute the onion in butter for one minute. 
Add the zucchini and squash; cook until crisp-tender, about two minutes. 
Stir in the salt, garlic salt, basil, and pepper. 
Cook two minutes longer, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat.
Place tomatoes on top of hot veggies; cover for two minutes.
Serve immediately and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.  

Serves 4-6
