Yellow Summer Squash Parmesean

3 yellow summer squash
2 tbsps. butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 - 2 tbsps. fresh basil, chopped
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup fresh Parmesan, grated

Yellow summer squash fresh from the market
Basil leaves fresh from my garden

Melt butter in pan. Slice the squash into thick slices

Add to melted butter in pan and brown on both sides. About 7-10 minutes each side.

This is my favorite part. Add the minced garlic and saute for about 2 minutes. I just love, love, love the aroma of fresh garlic sauteing away in the butter.

Remove from heat, sprinkling on the chopped basil and combine. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Grate parmesan cheese into hot squash and stir.

Add more grated parmesan cheese to top and that's it! Enjoy!
