  2. Heat the oil in a skillet and add the zucchini, salt and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds; do not brown. Set aside.
  3. When the noodles are ready, drain quickly but thoroughly. Spoon the zucchini and cheese over them and toss quickly. Serve immediately.
