Zucchini Fettucine

In this recipe you use no pasta,
just peel and peel the fresh squash
into long strips like fettucine.
I like to serve this with a tomato
sauce and some freshly grated cheese.
It's also equally good with a fresh
basil and butter sauce and parmesan.

Ingredients:
1 zucchini
2 garlic cloves, smashed
2 tsp. butter or olive oil
1/8 tsp. Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp. kosher salt or salt
Black pepper
2 tbs. cup water
Grated parmesan cheese

Directions:
Cut the zucchini in long ribbons,
using a vegetable peeler.
Cut the ribbons lengthwise,
into 3-5 " strands depending
on the size of the zucchini,
so that you have fettucine-like strands.
Heat a 10-inch skillet over
medium-high heat until hot.
Add 1 tsp. butter or oil
and the smashed garlic.
Add the zucchini strands and stir.
Add Italian seasoning, salt,
and black pepper to taste.
Add 2 tbs. water and stir occasionally
for another minute or until the
zucchini is crisp tender or al dente.
Remove to a plate, top with
grated parmesan cheese, and serve.
