Pasta with Zucchini Sauce
INGREDIENTS
4 zucchinis
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup olive oil
Salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup fresh basil, torn
DIRECTIONS
Cut the ends off the zucchinis and slice into thin circles. In a large saucepan heat olive oil over high heat. Begin adding zucchini slices. Reduce heat to medium and cook until lightly browned and crisp. Meanwhile cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and reserve some of the pasta water. Add pasta to the zucchini in the sauce pan. Stir in the cheese and just enough pasta water to create a creamy consistency to the sauce. Stir well and season with cracked black pepper and salt. Add the torn basil and garnish with additional parmesan at the table.
