Step 1

Combine the mint, basil and pine nuts into a food processor. Pulse, then drizzle in enough oil to make a thick but liquid pesto. Pour into a bowl and set aside.

Step 2

Cut squash lengthwise into thin ribbons using a vegetable peeler or a mandolin.

Step 3

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and when it is hot, add the squash ribbons, the garlic, tomatoes, and salt to taste. Toss and stir squash and cherry tomatoes, for 2 to 3 minutes using tongs or chopsticks, until the squash becomes translucent and tomatoes are beginning to shrivel and char.

Step 4

Add salt and add freshly ground pepper to taste, and transfer to a serving dish. Pour any juice in the pan over squash.

Step 5

Top each serving with a spoonful of pesto (about one tablespoon per serving), and serve, topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
