Preparation
Step 1
Drain the canned pattypan squash and cut it into cubes.
Step 2
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves. If you have a food processor—an appliance that allows you to quickly chop, grate, and mix ingredients—this step will be very swift.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the chopped garlic to the pan and sauté it until golden, making sure it does not burn.
Step 5
Stir in the cubed pattypan squash, seasoning with salt and pepper to your liking.
Step 6
Sauté the mixture for about 10 minutes, until the pattypan squash begins to brown.
Step 7
Add the dried parsley and pine nuts, then continue cooking for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to blend beautifully.
My Chef’s Tip
For an even more pronounced flavor, you may toast the pine nuts dry in a skillet before adding them to the dish. This enhances their aroma and crunchiness.
Dry white wine
A dry white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc will pair perfectly with this sauté, adding a welcome touch of acidity.
