Yellow Squash with Basil

 

1 large or 2 medium yellow squash

1 sweet onion, diced

1 cup torn basil leaves

1 tbsp. butter

salt and pepper, to taste

 

Cut ends off yellow squash and halve length-wise. Cut into thin, half-moon

slices. Sprinkle with salt and set aside.

In a large pot or skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced onions and

saute until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add sliced squash and toss. Cook 5 to 7

minutes or until squash is tender. Remove from heat.

While squash is still hot, top with torn basil leaves and toss well. Allow 1 to

2 minutes for basil leaves to wilt slightly. Top with additional salt and

pepper, to taste.
