PASTA WITH ZUCCHINI SAUCE
i saw a version of this recipe on a local cooking show and have played with it to make it faster and easier for us nonprofessional cooks out there. Everytime I've made this dish I have never had a single leftover. we've also been known to add other squash, but i think it's best with the zucchini. It's very delicious, fast, and unusual. Enjoy!! **NOTE** recently I have tried slice the zucchini into julienne strips and WOW!! its like zucchini noodles, so either way is great!!!

Steps:
- cook pasta according to the box instructions. while pasta is cooking, gently heat oil and garlic over medium heat.
- slice zucchini, thin, using a slicer.
- place zucchini in a collander and salt heavily. allow to sweat for 10 minutes and rinse thoroughly. dry well.
- fry zucchini in garlic oil until lightly golden; do not crowd the pan, take your time and fry in small batches.
- the zucchini should take about the same amount of time as the pasta. when pasta is ready to be drained, reserve a 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid.
- strain pasta and return to the cooking pot. add zucchini and garlic oil. add water depending on how dry the pasta looks. it could take the whole 1/4 cup depending on how much oil evaporated while frying.
- add cheese and gently toss.
- serve immediately.
