ZUCCHINI ALFREDO
I was looking for a different way to cook zucchini besides the usual casserole, bread or cake. I found this recipe in a Better Homes & Gardens magazine. Prep time includes letting zucchini drain after cutting.

Steps:
- Cut zucchini in half crosswise, then cut lengthwise into 1/4 inch wide strips to resemble fettucine noodles.
- (You should have about 8 cups when you're finished.) Toss the zucchini with salt in a large colander.
- Allow zucchini to drain for 1 hour.
- Rinse, then pat zucchini dry.
- In a large skillet, cook the zucchini and minced garlic in hot olive oil over medium-high heat for 2-4 minutes or until crisp- tender.
- Transfer the cooked zucchini to a large bowl.
- In the same skillet, heat the cream cheese and half-and-half over medium-low heat until smooth.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese.
- Add the zucchini to sauce in skillet; heat through.
- Transfer to a serving dish.
- Sprinkle with pepper, nutmeg and additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.
