How to Cook Italian Zucchini

Zucchini, a versatile summer squash, is a staple ingredient in many Italian dishes. Here's a simple guide on cooking zucchini the Italian way:

Ingredients:

• 2 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Sauté: Add the zucchini slices and sauté for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
3. Add garlic: Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
4. Season: Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Garnish: Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.

Tips:

• To prevent overcooking, use medium heat and cook the zucchini for just a few minutes on each side.
• If you don't have fresh Parmesan cheese, you can use shredded Parmesan from the grocery store.
• Zucchini is a versatile vegetable that can be cooked in many ways. Try roasting it with olive oil and herbs, or grilling it for a smoky flavor.
