Reviews
I marinated in EVOO and Italian seasoning before the sauté. I had to cook a bit longer, but came out pretty good! Simple dish
Very quick and easy side dish; especially if you have an abundance of squash growing in your garden like me! Followed exactly but took the recommendation of another reviewer and garnished with shredded Parmesan cheese at the end. Thanks Sarah!
Very easy and delicious
I added some butter and a few shakes of curry powder. Yum
very simple to make and taste great.
Pretty good. Doubled the zucchini and squash, did not need to double the olive oil. Added some shredded parmesan. Would make again.
Great side dish…added my own spin to it and everyone took some home after lunch.
Loved it. Lots more flavor than just sauteed zucchini.
This was delicious and super easy to fix. The Italian seasoning and basil definitely added to the flavor. I didn’t deviate from the recipe at all. Yum!
Will definitely make it again. I added some butter as well.
Very tasty, and a nice change of pace from my usual zucchini go-to recipes. I used leftovers to make a frittata the next morning.
