Sautéed Zucchini for Light Gastritis

1Wash the zucchinis (2 medium) thoroughly and pat them dry. Trim the ends and cut them into thin slices or half-moons.

2Heat olive oil (1 tablespoon) in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic (1 clove) and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic (1 clove).

3Add the zucchini slices to the pan in a single layer. Sprinkle dried oregano (½ teaspoon), basil, red pepper flakes (¼ teaspoon), and black pepper (¼ teaspoon) over the zucchini. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender but still slightly crisp.

4Once the zucchini is cooked, remove the pan from heat. Toss in chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese (¼ cup). Mix well to combine all the flavors and allow the cheese to melt slightly.

5Serve the sautéed zucchini hot alongside spaghetti with tomato sauce for a light and delicious meal that is gentle on the stomach of those with light gastritis.
