Quick Summer Squash Sauté With Almonds

From SmittenKitchen.com, Courtesy of Capay Valley Farm Shop

INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
2 tablespoons thinly sliced almonds
1-2 small summer squash cut into 1/8 inch matchsticks
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Few ounces Romano or parmesan cheese, in thin slices – a peeler works great for this

PREPARATION

• Heat the oil on high in a large skillet.
• When it is hot but not smoking, add the almonds to the pan.
• Cook them, while stirring, until the almonds are golden brown, approximately a minute or two.
• Add the zucchini to the pan, tossing it with the oil and almonds until it just begins to glisten, about one minute.
• The idea is not to cook the zucchini so much as to warm it.
• Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately, with or without cheese on top.
