Zucchini Alla Romana

For best results with this mint-and-Parmesan cheese-flavored side dish, select zucchini that are small, firm, and free of cuts and soft spots. Pass over large zucchini. They tend to have tough skins and lots of seeds. Good Food, Good Health Eating Plan Exchanges: 1-1/2 vegetable.

2 cloves garlic

2 teaspoons olive oil

4 cups sliced zucchini (4 to 5 small)

1 teaspoon dried mint or basil, crushed, or 1 tablespoon snipped fresh mint or basil

1/4 teaspoon salt

Dash pepper

2 tablespoons finely shredded Parmesan or Romano cheese

1. In a large skillet cook the whole garlic cloves in hot oil until lightly browned; discard garlic. Add the zucchini, dried mint or basil (if using), salt, and pepper to the oil in the skillet.

2. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat about 5 minutes or until the zucchini is crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. To serve, sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese and fresh mint or basil (if using). Makes 6 servings.
