Made this with all yellow squash because that's what I had. I didn't have any fresh basil so I used dried. Very simple recipe and makes a quick side dish.

1-inch slices seem a little thick for pan-cooked squash. I cut them much thinner so they'd cook more evenly through. It took a while for them to brown and the onion got a little over-browned. I'd add the onion later next time. The recipe doesn't say what to do with the basil but I added it with the salt and pepper at the very end (you could just sprinkle it with the basil before serving but I wanted it mixed in more).

Excellent recipe. My garden is overrun with squash, and I love this. I add a little Season All while cooking. this will be a regular

This was one of the best (and easiest!) squash recipes we've tested. The onions, basil and garlic really gave it a lot of extra flavor. Would be a good side dish for a variety of entrees (pork chops, chicken, steak, etc).
