Zucchini 'Noodles' - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 zucchini
2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons margarine
1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
salt and black pepper to taste
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

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