Recipe of the week - Parmesan Zucchini and Corn

i found this recipe off of a website called damndelicious.net.  i was looking for new recipe for zucchini because i didn't feel like just sauteing it this time.  We loved it and will definitely do it again!

2 Tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 zucchinis, diced
1 cup of corn
1/4 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp dried thyme
salt and pepper
Lemon juice
Parmesan cheese

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.  Saute garlic until it becomes fragrant.  Add zucchini, corn, basil, oregano and thyme.  Cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini becomes tender and cooked through.  Season with salt, pepper and lemon juice.  Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve.

* the original recipe called for the juice of 1 lime, but i had lemon in stock...worked well
* it also uses cilantro in the original recipe added when you add the lemon juice
* i peeled the zucchini but you can leave the peel on.
* i used shredded parm instead of grated and thought it added good texture to the dish.

Enjoy!
