Sauteed Shredded Zucchini

As C will tell you I love squash, especially zucchini.  At one point the last summer she was living at home, she started asking me every night at dinner "Is there zucchini in it?".  I wasn't trying to hide it, I just liked it in a lot of different things.  I had it in my breakfast burrito on Sunday sauteed with eggs, onions, cheese and tomatoes.  But this was a different way to prepare it I came across that I hadn't tried before and it was very tasty and easy.  Just grate the zucchini, salt it and let it drain for 20 minutes or so.  Then put in a kitchen towel and squeeze dry.  Heat a small amount of olive oil in a heavy skillet and add the shredded zucchini. Add garlic if you like and salt and pepper to taste.  I served it with a very sweet fresh canteloupe and smoked chicken.
