Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring a pot of water to boil. Add zucchini; cook for one minute. Drain; rinse immediately with cold water to stop cooking.

Step 2

Heat butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add zucchini and garlic; cook and stir until just tender, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Cut zucchini into thin, noodle-like strips (a spiralizer or mandoline works well for this). Toss with 2 teaspoons salt, and place in a colander to drain for 30 minutes.
