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.
