A quick summertime dinner to use up the abundance of zucchini and mint. You could also thinly slice the zucchini into discs but I like it grated because it really becomes part of the sauce

  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt and pepper

  1. Grate the zucchini using a food processor. Move to a colander and salt. Allow to drain for about 20 minutes. Blot dry with paper towels.
