* Sauteed Zucchini and Tomatoes *

Another zucchini recipe, as promised! :) This is really so good...I love the sweetness of the tomatoes paired with the zucchini. We usually leave the cheese off (mostly because we don't usually have mozzarella cheese around--although we have put colby jack cheese on it before and it was good too). The recipe comes from here.

* Sauteed Zucchini and Tomatoes *

2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 medium zucchini, cut into approx. 1/4"-1/2" slices
a handful of cherry or grape tomatoes, cut in halves
1/2 cup (approx.) shredded mozzarella cheese
kosher salt and coarse ground pepper

Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add zucchini, season with salt and pepper. Let cook until golden brown on one side, about 3-5 minutes then flip and cook on the other side, 3-5 minutes more.

Add the tomatoes and heat through. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and heat until cheese melts. Season again with salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately.
