1.   Heat the oil over medium heat in your largest skillet.  Cook the garlic for a minute to flavor the oil, then discard it.

2.   Raise the heat to high, add the diced zucchini and saute, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes, until it is just done.  Season with salt and pepper. 

3.  Turn the zucchini into a serving dish and sprinkle it generously with chopped parsley.
