Preparation

Step 1
Cut the red pepper into strips and place the strips face down on a piece of foil paper placed on a broiling rack. Broil until the skin blisters. Place in a bag and seal. When the peppers have cooled, peel off the skin. Cut the strips into one-inch pieces and set aside.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a skillet and add the squash and zucchini. Brown lightly on both sides. Steam the fava beans.
Step 3
Add the garlic and red pepper flakes to the zucchini and cook for two to three minutes, stirring. Add the fava beans, peppers and basil leaves. Stir fry for a minute. Serve hot or cold.
