Squash Zucchini Tomato Bake
Sautéed squash and zucchini is one of my favorite side dishes for the summer. It’s quick, easy, light, flavorful and goes so great with grilled meats. Not to mention there is something elegant about sauteed squash and zucchini.
I’ve become totally spoiled by the farmers market when it comes to purchasing produce but they had squash and zucchini on sale at Harris Teeter this week. I can’t resist a sale so I got about 10 of each. Cheesy squash casserole and sweet, moist zucchini bread is in my future.
The onions and garlic in this dish really add a nice layer of flavor. That Italian seasoning and parmesan cheese adds the bang factor and the fresh tomatoes cools is all down for one delicious dish!
What are you waiting on, go grill up some fish or chicken and prepare this flavorful sautéed squash and zucchini on side!

I MAKE A SIMILAR RECIPE WITHOUT ZUCCHINI, BUT WILL NOW TRY ADDING IT IN. THANX!
I ADD CORN ALONG WITH SQUASH AND TOMATO. YOU SHOULD TRY ADDING CORN TO THIS RECIPE.
please post recipe for cheesy squash casserole too!
This looks yummy. I usually don't buy that much zucchini because I don't know what to do with it most of the time, now I have another recipe to try. Yum.
Looks like a simple, but flavorful, and might I add healthy dish(I don't always do healthy :-). ) You are good at what you do. I now have flavor packed, tried and true recipes for collard greens and black eyed peas for when I have a taste for them. Thanx Monique.
