• 6 garlic cloves

• Salt and pepper to taste

Prep- Cut off ends of zucchini and squash. Do not peel. Cut in half lengthwise and then into slices so you end up with half circles. Mince garlic.

In a large skillet, add a splash of olive oil. Bring to med heat and add squash and zucchini. Stir and turn to not allow burning, but to brown squash and zucchini. Continue to cook until softened, about 6-8 minutes. Remove zucchini and sqaush to a large bowl and set aside. Do not wash skillet as you will use it again.

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add gnocchi.

In the skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Once melted, add in minced garlic and stir for a minute.

Once gnocchi floats to the surface of the water, remove with a meshed spoon and shake off water and add to the skillet.

Brown gnocchi (should only take 5 minutes or so). Add back zucchini and squash and stir. Turn off heat. Add lemon juice and parmesan and stir. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Serve with chopped tomatoes, fresh basil leaves and a dash of red pepper flakes.
