Italian Style Zucchini

This simple to prepare dish is as flavorful as it is colorful. Enjoy it as a fantastic side dish to chicken and fish or over hearty pasta cuts like rigatoni or farfalle.

Ingredients:
2 tsp. Oil, olive, extra virgin
1/4 C Onion, Spanish, 1/4" dice
1 lb. Squash, zucchini, 1/2" slice
1 Garlic clove, fresh, minced
1 Tb. Basil, fresh, finely sliced
To Taste Salt and pepper
1/4 C Tomato sauce, prepared
1 Tbl Cheese, Parmesan, grated

Directions:
Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Add oil and heat through. Add onions and gently saute until tender and barely beginning to caramelize.

The zucchini should still be a touch al dente.
