Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until pasta is al-dente. Drain, saving ¼ cup of the pasta water.
In a large skillet over medium heat add the minced garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, butter and salt, mixing until garlic is lightly browned and butter is melted. Add zucchini slices to skillet, cooking until zucchini is browned on both sides, stirring so it's coated in the sauce. This takes about 5 minutes.
Add cooked pasta to the skillet, along with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/4 cup reserved water. Stir to fully coat the pasta and zucchini together in the butter sauce. Taste, adding more salt if needed.
