2 cups fresh spinach, loosely packed
1 teaspoon Red pepper flake, optional
¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese, optional

Instructions

Cut squash, peppers, and onion into similar sized pieces. Different shapes will make your dish more interesting. Cut garlic into thin slices
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil. When oil is shimmering add squash, peppers, onion, and garlic. Stir to coat all vegetables with oil.
Add Italian spice. Lightly season pan with salt.
Stir vegetable to cook evenly about 15 minutes or until tender.
When vegetables are tender, remove pan from heat and add spinach. Toss to mix. The heat from the vegetable will wilt the spinach.

Notes

Cook the vegetables to your families liking. I prefer a little crunch on my veggies so I cook them for a shorter amount of time.

Red pepper flake and Parmesan cheese make a nice addition.
