For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving. Feel free to experiment with other herbs, such as oregano, thyme, or parsley, in place of or in addition to the basil. To prevent the squash from becoming too soft, avoid overcrowding the skillet. If necessary, sauté in batches. This dish is best served immediately, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
