I have been making variations of this recipe since it was originally published in the 60-Minute Gourmet. Always the best way to cook in the heat of the summer. I do not use cream and I saute in olive oil. I usually finish with a TBSP of butter. Add cherry tomatoes, whatever, a quick and tasty side dish to a summer meal.

Agree with Stephanie. It's a stove-top dish with 6min of cooking...barely a sautee. Not a casserole. Maybe a beanless succotash...squash, corn, onions poached in dairy. Fresh and quick.

I don't understand how this can be a casserole when it is cooked on the stove top and more appropriately in some sort of skillet.
