For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the zucchini while it's sautéing. To enhance the nutty flavor, toast the pecans in a dry skillet or oven before chopping. This sauté is also delicious with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end. Try adding other vegetables like yellow squash or bell peppers for a colorful twist.
