Zucchini 'Noodles'

Ingredients

• 6 zucchini
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 3 tablespoons margarine
• 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
• salt and black pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Cut zucchini into thin, noodle-like strips (a mandoline works well for this). Toss with the 2 teaspoons salt, and place in a colander to drain for 30 minutes.
2. Bring a pot of water to boil. Add zucchini; cook for one minute. Drain; rinse immediately with cold water to stop cooking.
3. Heat margarine in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add zucchini and garlic; cook and stir until just tender, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
