2 teaspoons olive oil
2 summer squash, ends trimmed and sliced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Parmesan cheese
In a 10 or 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until hot and rippling.
Add the squash in as even a layer as possible (it should sizzle as it hits the skillet).
Sprinkle with salt and pepper and let it sit without stirring or moving for 2-3 minutes so it can get nice and golden.
Give it a good stir and add a touch more salt and pepper to taste.
Let it continue to cook, stirring only every now and then, until the squash is browning here and there and tender to your liking (about 5-7 more minutes), stirring and adding salt and pepper every 2 minutes or so.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and top with freshly grated Parmesan.
Serve immediately.
