Simple Summer Sides - Herbed Squash Ribbons

Every summer we are inundated with zucchini and squash. I'm always trying new recipes so we're not eating it the same way every time. My favorite his summer has been squash ribbons. It doesn't matter if you use zucchini or yellow squash or combine them. For two people I use 2 medium sized squash. This dish is super easy, taking just about 5 mins to cook.

Squash ribbons: cut one end off squash and use vegetable peeler to make ribbons, stopping when you get to the seeds. Rotate and do this for the remaining 3 sides.

Step 1
Heat 1 TBSP olive oil over med-high heat in large saute pan
Add: 1 small shallot, chopped and ribbons from 2 squash
Saute over medium-high heat 2 mins

Step 2
Add 1/4 cup mixed chopped herbs

Step 3
Saute for 2-3 mins, squash will begin to shrink a bit in volume

Step 4
Add 1 TBSP freshly grated parmesan cheese
Season to your liking with bit of sea salt or pepper.
