A fabulous way to enjoy summer squash. It's hard to beat a fresh picked yellow squash sautéd with a little fresh basil and pine nuts. A beautiful side for any meal.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil (and/or butter) over medium low heat.
Squash - Yellow squash is my favorite summer squash so that's what I use. However, zucchini would also work or a mix of zucchini and yellow squash.
Cheese - This recipe works with several different types of cheese as well as without cheese. If you choose to use cheese, then let the main dish determine the type of cheese you use. Our favorites are Pecorini Romano and aged cheddar; however, a mild or sharp cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Manchego also work.
Pinon (Pine Nuts) - I prefer pinon, but pecans work as well. Or, you could just leave out the nuts.
Serving Suggestions - Serve with smoked chicken, roasted or grilled chicken.
