Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil and ½ tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  3. In the same skillet, melt another 2½ tablespoons of butter, then add the diced yellow onion and sauté for 2 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
  4. Stir in the sliced button mushrooms and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until nicely browned.
  5. Add the minced garlic and fresh herbs to the skillet, cooking for an additional 20 seconds to enhance aroma.
  6. Return the sautéed zucchini to the skillet, stirring to combine all ingredients thoroughly and heating through for 1 minute.
  7. Pour in ¼ cup of vegetable broth, stirring gently and allowing the mixture to simmer for about 2 minutes.
  8. Finish by sprinkling freshly chopped parsley and grated Parmesan on top before serving warm.
