Ingredients:
2 medium green or yellow zucchini
Salt
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 stems fresh thyme
Pinch dried oregano
1 tablespoon fresh chopped basil and/or Italian parsley
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup fresh ricotta cheese or goat cheese

2. Dry the zucchini with paper towels, and coat with olive oil.
3. Grill or broil the zucchini halves on high heat for about 3 minutes (be sure not to overcook the zucchini, or the entire dish will be soggy). Toss immediately with herbs and garlic.
