How To Make A Basil Zucchini Recipe

Ingredients

2 small zucchini

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tbsp unsalted butter , or olive oil

2 tbsp fresh basil, snipped

fresh ground black pepper

Trim ends from zucchini and slice lengthwise on a mandoline or vegetable slicer to make long, spaghetti-like strips.

In a medium bowl, toss zucchini with 1/2 tsp. salt.

Transfer to a colander set over a bowl.

Let stand 15 minutes.

Using your hands, gently squeeze zucchini to drain some of the liquid.

In a large skillet, cook garlic in hot butter for 1 minute, or just until softened but not browned.

Add zucchini and basil: cook tossing with tongs, just until heated through, about 1 minute.

Add pepper to taste.
