2 teaspoons Olive Oil
2 Zucchini diced
½ cup Grape or Cherry Tomatoes
2 Garlic Cloves chopped
½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
⅛ teaspoon Black Pepper
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning

Instructions

Heat a saute pan on medium low heat. Pour the olive oil in the pan. While the oil warms dice the zucchini and chop the garlic.
2 Zucchini, 2 Garlic Cloves, 2 teaspoons Olive Oil
Turn the heat up to medium and add in the diced zucchini, cherry tomatoes, chopped garlic. Then season with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
2 Zucchini, ½ cup Grape or Cherry Tomatoes, 2 Garlic Cloves, ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt, ⅛ teaspoon Black Pepper, 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
Saute for 10 minutes (mixing often making sure it doesn't burn) or until zucchini is cooked to desired doneness and has a nice caramelized color to it. Serve immediately.

Notes

Larger Batch - You can easily double this recipe to feed more people.
Vegetables - You can add in yellow squash or even thinly sliced onions to the zucchini and tomatoes.
Tomatoes - If you don't have grape or cherry tomatoes a diced plum or beef stake tomato works as well.
Tomato Sauce - My sister inlaw loves to add a few tablespoons of tomato sauce into her sauteed zucchini. If I am making Italian food I will sometimes do the same right before serving.
