Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
- 3 cups baby spinach
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Add them to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.
Slice the zucchini into half-moons and dice the red bell pepper. Add them to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for another 3 minutes, allowing them to start releasing their juices.
Stir in the baby spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach wilts.
Tear or chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the skillet, along with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.
If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the skillet right before serving for a creamy, tangy finish.
Serve warm on its own or as a side dish with crusty bread or your favorite grain. Enjoy!
