Ingredients
  

  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 8 ounces patty pan squash, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt, plus more for sprinkling
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the squash, salt, and several grinds of pepper and sauté for 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the squash is tender but still has a firm bite.
  2. Turn off the heat and stir in the lemon juice, garlic, and parsley. Transfer to a serving dish and top with fresh basil and red pepper flakes, if desired.
