Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sautéed Patty Pan Squash with Spinach and Herbs.
Step 1
Begin by prepping your ingredients: slice the onion and patty pan squash, crush the garlic, and chop the fresh herbs.
Step 2
In a skillet, warm the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until it starts to foam, which should take about one to two minutes.
Step 3
Toss in the sliced onion and sauté until it turns tender and translucent, roughly three minutes.
Step 4
Next, add the patty pan squash and crushed garlic, seasoning with a hint of lemon pepper.
Step 5
Cook this vibrant mix until the squash is tender enough to pierce with a fork, about five to six minutes.
Step 6
If you’re including fresh spinach, parsley, and basil, stir them in now and sauté for an additional minute until the spinach wilts beautifully.
Step 7
Once everything is cooked to perfection, remove the skillet from the heat and squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the dish.
Step 8
Finish by sprinkling grated Parmesan cheese and giving it a good stir to combine all the flavors.
Step 9
Adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper to your liking, and enjoy this delightful medley of fresh ingredients.
