Sautéed zucchini and summer squash with colorful bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, garlic, and fragrant basil, topped with gooey melted cheddar cheese.

Ingredients:

2 pounds summer squash and/or zucchini, sliced
1 green bell pepper, seeds removed, sliced
2 smallish tomatoes or one large tomato, peeled and cut into wedges
1/2 yellow onion, peeled and sliced
1 clove of garlic, chopped
Extra virgin olive oil
5 or 6 slices of cheese - jack or cheddar
Basil, either dry or chopped fresh
Salt and pepper

Instructions:

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over high heat. Add onion, garlic, squash, and bell pepper. Sauté until slightly browned to enhance flavor, sprinkling with dried or fresh basil while cooking.
When the vegetables are perfectly caramelized, take the pan off the heat, layer on the cheese slices, and let the pan cover do its magic.
Saute the tomatoes in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the juices begin to evaporate.
After simmering for 5 minutes, incorporate the tomatoes into the vegetable mixture and gently mix in. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
