Nutty Summer Squash with Asiago Cheese (Phase 1 - All Phases)



Summer squash couldn't be better! Chopped walnuts and Asiago, an Italian cheese with a nutty, rich flavor, add a surprise crunch to this delightful veggie dish.













  • 2 teaspoons trans-free margarine
  • 2 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium zucchini, cut into 3" strips
  • 1 medium yellow summer squash, cut into 3" spears
  • 2 tablespoons chicken or vegetable broth






  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
  • 1/3 cup (1 1/2 ounces) shredded Asiago cheese

  • 1. Melt the margarine in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute, or until soft.

    2. Add the zucchini, yellow squash, broth, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 6 minutes, or until the zucchini and squash are tender. Remove from the heat. Sprinkle with the walnuts and cheese.
