  • 2 yellow squash
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced

  4. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring even distribution of the seasonings.
  5. Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the vegetables to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil for an extra pop of flavor.
  6. Serve the asparagus with zucchini and squash hot as a side dish or pair it with your favorite protein for a complete and satisfying meal.
