Zucchini and Carrot Ribbons

Zucchini and Carrot Ribbons

2 carrots, washed but not peeled, ends removed
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 medium-size zucchini, blossom and stem ends removed
Salt & pepper

Cut the carrots into ribbons, then in half. Heat the oil or butter in a large skillet until shimmery. Add the garlic and the carrots, stirring to coat with fat. Let cook, stirring often, while cutting the zucchini. Add the zucchini to the skillet, stirring to coat and to distribute the heat. Cook until soft (or al dente if you prefer). Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
