Summer Squash Sauté with Basil & Tomatoes

Summer squashes contain a lot of moisture in the center, near their seeds. To reduce the amount of moisture released while quickly sautéing the squashes, cut them in half lengthwise and run the tip of a small spoon down the center of each half to quickly and easily remove the seeds. Then slice as directed in the recipe.
