Preparation
  1. Heat a splash of olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking for about 2 minutes until they soften and become fragrant.
  2. Toss in the chopped zucchini, followed by salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir this delightful mix and let it cook for 1 minute.
