Author Notes: A nice side dish to go with something grilled or a light main for the summer. - inpatskitchen

Makes 3 to 4 side servings

With a vegetable peeler, peel the zucchini into ribbons about 1/2 inch wide until you reach the seeds. Cut the ribbons into pieces about 2 inches long, place them in a colander and toss with the 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let rest for about 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes rinse the zucchini thoroughly and pat dry with paper toweling. Place into a serving bowl.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and place in the bowl along with the crushed garlic, basil and oregano.
Cook the noodles in the broth. Drain, reserving some of the broth. Stir the butter into the noodles and then toss with the vegetable mixture. Add a little reserved broth to loosen and season with salt and pepper. Eat right away!
