→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
02 - 1/2 small yellow onion, diced
03 - 4 garlic cloves, finely minced
04 - 2 medium yellow summer squash
05 - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
06 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
07 - 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

# Steps:

01 - Dice onion, mince garlic, and cut cherry tomatoes in half. Cut both ends off squash, then cut lengthwise into halves (or fourths if the squash is larger). Slice the squash into 2 cm thick slices.
02 - Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion for 2-3 minutes, until starting to soften but not browned.
03 - Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute more until fragrant.
04 - Add the squash pieces and remaining 1 teaspoon oil if needed. Cook, turning often, for 6-8 minutes until the squash is cooked through and starting to brown but still slightly crisp.
05 - Stir in the cherry tomato halves and cook for 1 minute, just until warmed through.
06 - Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top and serve immediately.
