Wash the patty pan squash and slice them into thin rounds.

Mince the garlic and chop the parsley.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add the sliced patty pan squash and sauté for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.

Stir in the minced garlic, salt, and pepper, and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the squash is tender and lightly browned.

Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley before serving.
