Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the zucchini and garlic and fry for 5 – 6 minutes or until nicely coloured. Season with salt and set aside. Discard the garlic. Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Drop in the spaghetti and stir well to separate the strands. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente (generally 1 minute less than the cooking time recommended on the packet). When the pasta is ready, place the zucchini in the pan over medium heat. Using a spaghetti spoon, transfer the spaghetti straight into the zucchini pan, dragging a little of the cooking water with it, then toss well. Turn off the heat and add the provolone.
