2. Saute Garlic and Zucchini:

   • Heat a large skillet over moderate heat.
   • Add extra-virgin olive oil to the pan.

   • Season the zucchini with salt and pepper.

   • Drain the cooked spaghetti, reserving a cup of pasta water.

4. Combine Ingredients:

   • Add the hot, drained spaghetti to the skillet with the zucchini and garlic.
   • Toss everything together gently, ensuring the spaghetti is coated with the flavorful oil.
   • If needed, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.

5. Finish and Serve:
