Sauteed Zucchini

2 to 3 cloves Melissas organic garlic sliced
10 basil leaves divided 6 torn 4 thinly sliced
1/4 cup grated imported Reggiano Parmesan cheese

Spread zucchini slices out in a large colander and sprinkle evenly with salt. Allow to drain over a bowl or the sink for 15 to 20 minutes, rinse well and jostle with your hands to remove salt. Gently squeeze dry with paper towels.
