Grilled Squash

The Ingredients

1 butternut squash

1 garlic clove

several sprigs of parsley

extra virgin olive oil

salt

red pepper flakes

In Napoli we eat a ton of squash and pumpkin. I wanted to taste something familiar that my mom made for me over the summer that was oh-so-tasty. So, I chopped up some acorn squash and went to town!

First, chop the squash into small chunks. In a grill pan, add enough olive oil to coat the bottom. Let the squash cook for 5 minutes on each side- enough to make some beautiful grill marks. Season with some salt and pepper. Then, dice some garlic and add it to the mixture. It will add some great flavor. Top it with some parsley and enjoy! So delicious! 

NOTE: You can actually preserve the squash "sott'olio" or "under oil" in a jar with these ingredients, so this version is quick, easy, and delicious!
