Pasta with zucchini

Pretty quick, cook the zucchini while the pasta boils.

Ingredients

  • 100 grams pasta

  • 1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 6 fresh basil leaves

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • FOR THE NUT PARMESAN

  • 1/3 cup cashews

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast

  • pinch of salt

Method

  • Cook the pasta, you’re on your own bud
  • Heat half olive oil to medium-high heat.
  • Toss the zucchini slices with the other half of the oil, the minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Maybe add some flour too to get em crispy?
  • Brown the zucchini slices in the pan, turning once or twice.
  • Drain the pasta.
  • With the pan still hot, mix the cooked pasta into the pan

Notes

  • Some neat related recipes: Pasta with zucchini 3 ways
  • Tried this once, with 50 grams of pasta, and a bit more than a third of a medium zucchini. It worked well, zucchini is newest thing to me, did it over medium heat (basically fried in olive oil).
  • I definitely should have done more zucchini! it takes a while to cook, but it’s totally worth it, and it cooks down, so it felt like very little by the end. I also added lemon zest, crushed garlic instead of minced once the zucchini was basically done. Then when mixing with pasta, I added in a splash of soy milk, and a bit of butter (could have been vegan butter). Finally, I finished it off with a bit of lemon juice.
  • I think fresh basil and chopped spinach added with the soy milk and butter would have been really great.
