Directions

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

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

  3. Heat margarine 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.

Recipe Note

A tasty and fairly simple way for people on a gluten-free or wheat-free diet to enjoy a noodle dish. I usually use 4 zucchini and 2 summer squash for a colorful mix.
