3 tablespoons olive oil
4 large ripe tomatoes, peeled,seeded and chopped
2 sprigs fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
6 small zucchini, trimmed (about 1 1/2 lb)

In saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat.

Remove bay leaf.

Meanwhile, slice unpeeled zucchini lengthwise into long wide strips about 1/8 inch thick.

(Use a veggie slicer or I find a veggie peeler is best, in long single swipes.) In a large frypan, heat 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil over high heat.
6
Add half of the zucchini strips and half of the garlic, sprinkle with a pinch of cayenne, cook, stirring almost constantly for about 3 minutes or until zucchini is tender and golden, being careful not to break it.

Pour sauce over and sprinkle with parmesan.
