This is one of my all time favorites and it is super easy. I love zucchini and pasta dishes. Combined, it is fantastic. I will usually throw in some extra veggies; mushrooms, red peppers, onions, - whatever I have in my fridge that would be yummy. Ingredients:

1 minced garlic clove |
1 lb zucchini, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
3/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
8 ounces penne pasta |

1/4 cup parmesan cheese |
2 teaspoons dried marjoram |

1. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil and garlic on medium 2 minutes, or until garlic is golden.
2. Add zucchini, salt and pepper.
3. Cook over medium heat 6-7 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions, al dente.
5. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water.
