In the summer we grill a lot, so squash and zucchini are wonderful - each sliced down the middle and brushed with olive oil, face down on the grill for a about three minutes... yum.
also, if you have a vegetable peeler (who doesnt?), squash and zucchini ribbons are easy, elegant and take 30 to 60 seconds in a saute pan. Just take your veggie peeler and keep peeling the entire vegetable making "ribbons". Toss them in the saute pan with a small drizzle of olive oil and a little salt and pepper. This also makes a good substitute for "noodles" if you like a low carb diet. Toss them with pesto or top with tomato sauce or fresh chopped tomatoes and herbs..
