  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 ripe medium tomatoes, peeled, seeded, diced, and drained

  • Salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
Method
  1. Cut the zucchini into 1/4-inch slices diagonally, or 1/4-inch cubes.
  2. Heat the olive oil over high heat in a large skillet. Cook the zucchini and garlic for 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and basil. Continue to cook for 3 more minutes, or until the zucchini is tender.
