Here is a quick and very easy recipe for Sautéed Summer Squash and Zucchini. Basil and oregano gives it a nice Italian flavor.
The seasoning for this dish was inspired by the Vegetable Lasagna I made last week. The zucchini layer was so delicious that I ate a lot of the zucchini slices that were intended for the lasagna. Make sure to slice the summer squash and zucchini thin. This reduces cooking time and makes for tender bites.

I can’t believe that I have recovered enough from last year’s abundant zucchini and squash crops, that I am actually looking forward to growing more this year. Are there any veggies that you are looking forward to eating in season this summer?

I've got roasted zucchini on the menu, but think I will change it out for this recipe! This looks delicious!
I can't wait for squash from our garden. Last year all we got was summer squash; someone (i.e. kids next door) came and stole all our zucchini blossoms and the plant never really came back and produced much again.

Looks yummy. I can't wait to get some fresh squash from the farmers market this year.
Have a great weekend.

Sounds really good. I make something similar, but with the addition of onion.
