Sautéed Zucchini and Cherry Tomatoes

Ingredients

2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 small red onion, diced
1 lb. zucchini (2-3 medium), cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 Tbsp fresh chopped basil, plus more for garnish if desired

Directions

Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large sauté pan. Add the red onions and cook, stirring frequently, until very soft and pale purple in color, 7-8 minutes. Do not brown.

Add the zucchini, tomatoes, garlic, salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, for 3-5 minutes, or until the zucchini are cooked but still crisp and the tomatoes have started to collapse, creating a little sauce. Stir in the fresh basil, then taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with more fresh basil if desired.
