In a medium saucepan, combine the zucchini pieces with about 1 cup of water and the salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the zucchini is very tender.

Drain the zucchini very well, pressing out any excess water. Return the zucchini to the dry saucepan.

Add the butter or oil to the zucchini. Mash the zucchini with a fork or potato masher until it reaches a smooth or slightly chunky consistency, as preferred.

If using onion, garlic, or chili powder, sauté the onion and garlic in a separate small pan with a little oil until softened, then stir in the chili powder. Add this mixture to the mashed zucchini.
