Notes
Look for squash that is firm and smooth with bright, vibrant skin. Avoid squash that has soft spots, blemishes, or mold. Additionally, check the stem end to ensure it is still attached and not dried out.
When picking yellow squash, it's best to choose ones that are on the smaller side, as they tend to be more tender and flavorful.
The length of time it takes for the squash to soften will depend on the thickness of the slices. Start checking the dish around the 15-minute mark.
