Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
2 onion -- peeled and sliced
2 garlic cloves -- peeled and crushed
1/4 cup butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 pound zucchini -- cubed
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
10 basil leaves -- torn into pieces
To serve: cooked pasta to serve 4 people
butter
freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Gently saute onion and garlic in butter and oil. Do not allow them to burn. After 3-4 minutes add zucchini, salt and pepper and continue cooking gently until zucchini are tender. This will take 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of the cubes. Add basil leave and pasta. Toss and serve topped with a pat of butter and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Makes 4 servings. There are lots of zucchini recipes, but I think this one is the best. The flavors of the onion, garlic and zucchini blend beautifully and the basil sets it all off well. Serve with any kind of pasta shape.
