Easy Sautéed Patty Pan Squash Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.5 sweet yellow onion (such as Vidalia®), thinly sliced
• 4 patty pan squash, sliced to 1/2-inch-thick pieces
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed, or more to taste
• 1 dash lemon pepper
• 1.5 cups packed fresh spinach
• 0.25 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
• 0.5 lemon, juiced
• 1.5 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese
• salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare all the necessary ingredients.
2. In a skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until it begins to foam, approximately 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes tender and translucent, around 3 minutes.
3. Incorporate the squash and garlic, then season with lemon pepper. Continue to sauté the mixture until the squash is easily pierced with a fork, which should take about 5 to 6 minutes.
4. Add spinach, parsley, and basil to the squash mixture; sauté until the spinach wilts, about 1 minute.
5. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the mixture and sprinkle generously with Parmesan cheese; stir thoroughly. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
