Wow! I was looking for something I could make with my garden vegetables, and this popped up! This is amazing as a side dish.

Great way to partner fresh summer veggies. Quick prep time and no fuss finish. Healthy side dish.

I think 2T of oil is a bit much - the dish was oily even after letting it saute a bit longer than I normally would. That being said, I thought it was DELICIOUS and would love to try it with cubes of mozzarella in it (like a bruschetta). Perfect summer grilled meal companion!

Delicious! I have an abundance of yellow squash and basil in my garden and so I thought I would try this. I absolutely loved this but my kids wouldn't touch it. My husband doesn't care for squash so I got to devour this by myself. In more than one sitting of course. It tastes just as good heated up the next day! Thank you for sharing!

I have made this recipe and will be making it tonight. My husband and son like it and asked for it again and they are not veggie lovers.
