Summer Squash Saute

Summer Squash Sauté

Ingredients:

2 lbs summer squash and/or zucchini, cut into matchsticks

1tsp kosher salt plus more

¼ C sliced almonds

2 tbs olive oil

2 garlic cloves, sliced

¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes

¼ C finely grated Parmesan

Freshly ground black pepper

Preparation:

Place squash in a colander set in the sink or over a large bowl and toss with 1 tsp salt. Let squash stand 10 minutes, then squeeze well to remove as much excess moisture as possible (do not rinse).

Meanwhile, toast almonds in a large dry skillet over medium heat, tossing occasionally, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate; let cool.

Heat oil in same skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring often, until fragrant but not browned, about 2 minutes. Add squash and cook, tossing occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Fold in Parmesan and season with salt and pepper. Fold in almonds.
