This simple zucchini and squash recipe would make a great summer side dish or an easy low point snack. The instructions for this recipe are simple: Sauté the vegetables, sprinkle them with some seasons, and melt a little cheese on top. There is just something about garlic and red onion cooking with oil that makes the house smell amazing. I think you are going to love this one. I could eat a whole pan of this stuff, for real. I wanted to give just a few examples of some recipes you may want to pair these vegetables with, but you could serve this with just about anything.
