Zukes-From Plant to Plate In No Time!

Well it's here... zucchini season! I can't wait to see how many different recipes folks have to use this over-achieving plant! I'm joining Foodie Friday today, please stop over to see what everyone else is cooking up!
I'll start off with an extremely simple sauté, most have probably tried it already, 
but it's good and worth mentioning again!

Zukes, garlic, a healthy pinch of crushed red pepper flakes, olive oil, salt and pepper.
Use as much garlic as you like, I used one big clove for this amount, I'd even add more next time!
(Now, you don't have to have a cute pig cutting board, but it really does bring something to the party!)

Heat pan over medium, add oil, then garlic and pepper flakes, then add zucchini, grind some pepper on top. Keep the heat med-low so you don't burn the garlic, stir/flip things around a bit and when zukes begin to get a little color on them, remove from heat, add salt to taste.

Grab a fork and enjoy!
Have a happy day!
