Cucumber Pasta

Shred the cucumber into thin strings. Put the cucumber in a pot of boiling water, cook 1 minute, then drain. Heat olive oil in a pan, add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add cucumber, Parmesan and basil, mix well and turn off heat. (If you don’t have fresh basil, substitute with 1 teaspoon dried basil and sauté with garlic instead of adding it later.) Serve immediately.
