In a Dutch Oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté over medium low heat, until translucent, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add garlic, and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the zucchini, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Sauté until zucchini is tender, about 10 minutes.
