Instructions

  1. Cut the zucchini into 1 cm (just over 1/4 inch) rounds, put them in a colander over a dish, season with salt and toss so they are coated.
  2. After 10 minutes, arrange the slices in a single layer on paper towels, pat dry and rub off some of the salt.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
  4. After a couple of minutes, add the zucchini, toss, and stir every 1 to 2 minutes for 6 to 8 minutes, until lightly sautéed. Remove and set aside.
  5. In the same pan over the same heat, add the chopped garlic and stir constantly for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant. Add the flour and stir for 2 minutes, then add the milk and broth and stir constantly until slightly creamy.
  6. After 4 to 5 minutes, when the sauce is slightly creamy, stir in the oregano and thyme and season with salt and pepper. Return the zucchini to the pan, stir and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes.
  7. Turn off the heat, then stir in the grated cheese and lemon juice.
  8. Transfer to a large serving dish, sprinkle with chopped chives and serve.
