Sautéed Zucchini

This sautéed zucchini is a really easy recipe that tastes great. Fresh veggies are lightly cooked together. You can add a cup of cooked pasta if you wish to give it more heft as a side dish. We always make too much pasta during the week so this is a great way to work through some of the leftovers.
