Sauteed Zucchini and Yellow Squash with Garlic and Parmesan

Sauteed-Zucchini-with-garlic-and-parmesan-real-life-dinnerZucchini and Yellow Squash from the garden are the best! I got to eat some from my dad’s garden this summer while we were on vacation, and it made me so happy. This Sauteed Zucchini and Yellow Squash with Garlic and Parmesan recipe is a flavorful side dish to complement a main dish like these Easy Oven Baked Parmesan Pork Chops.

Even if you don’t have a garden to pick your zucchini and yellow squash out of, you will love this dish.

When I was living in California as a missionary for my church, I had the opportunity to eat dinner in a lot of different homes. One home that I ate at left a lasting impression. They served sauteed summer vegetables that had been cooked with garlic and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. It was DELICIOUS!

I had never had anything like it. Now it is one of my favorite ways to cook up zucchini and yellow squash. The best part is that it doesn’t really require any extra work. I could eat the whole pan myself. YUM!

HOW TO MAKE SAUTEED ZUCCHINI AND YELLOW SQUASH WITH GARLIC AND PARMESAN

  • Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

      You could melt some cheddar or mozzarella on top at the end instead of Parmesan.

    This is an outstanding recipe. I made it about a month ago for a little get together and it was eaten before the meat was done cooking. I made two slightly different additions to the recipe…. I doubled the parmesean and I added French fried onions on top for a little crunch.

      Hi Haley, either will work, I use whatever I have on hand which is grated most of the time.

    Thanks so much for sharing.. it’s the end of july and my garden got off to a slow start and I had a few in my garden wanted to use up.. I added 1/2 white onion, three cloves of garlic, we love garlic in this house, used a light Italian herb flavored olive oil, topped with lemon juice as directed and used 1/2 of grated parm(kraft)!! was so delicious my nine-year-old and 13-year-old devoured it .. served it along turkey sliders .. mmm
