Cheesy Summer Squash Sauté

My mother is the only person I have ever known who can make summer squash taste this good!

Often this time of year gardens are overflowing with zucchini and summer squash. This quick and easy recipe is a great way to use up some of the bounty.

Note that summer squash varies in tenderness, sometimes you need to cook them a little longer, sometimes a little less.
