Ingredients

Makes 4 Servings

2 zucchini

2 yellow squash

2 shallots, sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

10 cherry tomatoes, halved

1/8 tsp (0.6 mL) salt

1/8 tsp (0.6 mL) pepper

1/2 bunch fresh basil, thinly sliced

2 green onions, thinly sliced

Directions

First, wash and dry the squash and zucchini. Then, cut off the stems and cut the squash and zucchini in half. Use a vegetable spiralizer to turn the squash and zucchini into spaghetti-shaped noodles.
Add 1/4 c (59 mL) of water to a 24-inch (61-cm) skillet and heat until simmering. If you prefer, omit the water by using a nonstick pan. Turn heat down to medium and add shallots, garlic, and zucchini and squash noodles.
Stir with a wooden spoon for 2 minutes. Add cherry tomatoes. Cook for 5 minutes on low while stirring occasionally
Finish with salt and pepper and serve hot in a bowl with fresh basil and scallions.
