First, wash and dry the squash and zucchini. Then, cut off the stems and cut the squash and zucchini in half. Use a vegetable spiralizer to turn the squash and zucchini into spaghetti-shaped noodles.
Peel and cut shallots into thin rounds.
Add olive oil (if using) to a 24-inch skillet and heat until smoky. If you prefer, omit the oil by replacing it with water or by using a nonstick pan. Turn heat down to medium and add shallots, garlic, and zucchini and squash noodles.
Stir with a wooden spoon for 2 minutes. Add cherry tomatoes. Cook for 5 minutes while stirring.
Finish with seasoning and fresh basil and serve hot in a bowl with fresh basil and scallions.
