Ingredients

Dinner doesn't get much simpler or tastier than this! If you've got squash and tomatoes from the garden, fresh work well, but if you don't, canned and frozen are just as good.

1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tsp. minced garlic
2 cups butternut squash, cubed

1 1/2 tsp. oregano
3/4 tsp. lemon pepper
1/8 tsp. salt
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh basil
