If you have a mandoline with a julienne attachment or julienne peeler, use it here. For the best texture, stop cooking before the squash goes limp.

1 Dish, 4 Ways

Switch up this squash sauté with different flavor combinations:
Chile + Lime: Cook 1 chopped jalapeño along with garlic and red pepper flakes. Omit almonds and cheese and finish squash with lime juice and toasted pepitas.
Carrot + Miso: Shred 1 large carrot and cook with the squash. Whisk 1 tablespoon white miso and 1 tablespoon rice vinegar; stir in miso mixture at the end instead of cheese.
Cumin + Coriander: Add 1/2 teaspoon each of ground cumin and ground coriander while sautéing the garlic and red pepper flakes. Serve with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt.
