Stir the tomatoes and 1/4 cup water into the mixture; cover. Cook until the tomatoes have reduced slightly, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
• Pour another 1/4 cup water into the skillet, and add the bouillon cube; stir until the bouillon is dissolved. Add the zucchini; continue cooking until the zucchini is tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with black pepper to serve.

SAUTEED ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Sauté the shallots in the oil for a few minutes until softened. Add the diced zucchini and cook over a medium heat until almost cooked thru (about 15 minutes).
• Add the chopped parsley and salt to taste .Continue to cook for another 5 minutes , or until the zucchini is fully cooked.

EASY SAUTEED ZUCCHINI RECIPE

Steps:

• Start by slicing the zucchini into 1/4 inch rounds or even thinner, set aside
• Heat the olive oil in a frying pan until medium, not super hot
• Crush some garlic (don't mince), and add to the olive oil, stirring a bit and don't let it burn
• When the garlic is fragrant, it's time to add the zucchini slices in
• Spread the zucchini out and move them around periodically, they'll shrink a bit as water is released.
• When done to your liking (I like mine slightly firm not mushy), remove from heat
• Serve with some pasta, fresh salad or fresh italian bread!

• Turn off the heat, and then stir in the scallions, a squeeze of lemon juice, and cheese (if using). Taste, and then season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Serve immediately.

SAUTéED ZUCCHINI RECIPE

Steps:

• Chop garden or farmer's market large zucchini into 1/2 inch thick cubes or quarter moons. If zucchini is medium size, half moons are perfect. And baby zucchini could be sliced into rounds.
• Preheat large ceramic non-stick skillet with tall sides on high heat and then swirl oil. Add zucchini, salt and pepper.
• Cook for 3 minutes, stirring maximum 2 times. Let zucchini touch the hot skillet surface for at least a minute to really get that sear. Don't stir constantly to avoid pale "steamed" zucchini. And don't stir cooked zucchini to make it mushy too much.
• After zucchini is cooked, sprinkle with herbs and freshly grated garlic. Stir and grate fresh Parmesan cheese on top. Serve warm or cold.

EASY SAUTéED ZUCCHINI WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil, onion and 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Cook gently until the onions begin to brown, about 10 to 11 minutes. Add the zucchini, salt, pepper, thyme, and remaining Less Sodium Butter with Canola Oil.
• Increase heat to medium. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is just cooked through and beginning to brown, about 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Enjoy immediately

ZUCCHINI WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Remove the ends of the zucchini and, if they are large, cut in half lengthwise. Slice the zucchini diagonally in 1/2-inch slices. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan and add the onions. Cook for 10 minutes on medium-low heat, until they start to brown. Add half the zucchini, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to the pan and cook, tossing occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes, until just cooked through. Sprinkle with Parmesan and cook for 30 seconds more. Remove to a serving platter and repeat with the rest of the zucchini. Serve immediately.
• Note: If you cook too much zucchini in one pan, you end up steaming rather than sauteing it. I prefer to cook it in 2 batches.

SAUTEED ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Lightly brown the butter. Add onions and sautee until soft.
• Add Zucchini and a splash of soy sauce, salt and pepper. I also add a little seasoning such as Mrs. Dash. Mix well. Sprinkle generously with grated parmesan cheese.
• Reduce heat, cover pan and allow zucchini to steam-cook until soft but not too mushy.
• Sprinkle with Parmesan Cheese again before serving.

ITALIAN STYLE ZUCCHINI AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Slice the zucchini in half lengthwise and then cut into slices.
• Heat 2 Tbsp of the oil in a frying pan over medium high heat, then add the garlic and mushrooms. Sauté for about 6 to 8 minutes, sprinkle with a little salt and remove. Put the mushrooms in a plate or bowl and set aside.
• Next, add the other 2 Tbsp of the oil and the sliced zucchini. Sauté and stir frequently, for about 10 minutes.
• When the zucchini are just beginning to show tinges of brown, add the sautéed mushrooms. Keep the pan on the heat.
• Now add the diced tomatoes or puree (move the zucchini to one side and turn the heat up a little to cook the tomatoes a bit before mixing them through) and continue to sauté, turning occasionally. Add salt and pepper. Taste, and add more salt if it's a bit bland. This dish is very flavorful.
• Continue to cook for a few more minutes, then remove from heat. This makes a nice, light summer lunch, or a tasty side dish, along with some crusty bread!
