Meanwhile, halve the zucchini lengthwise, then thinly slice into half-moons. In a 12-inch skillet, heat the oil on medium. Add zucchini and tomatoes. Season with salt. Cook 5–6 min., until zucchini begins to soften, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and peas and cook 2–3 min., until peas are warm, stirring often.
