Parmesan and Garlic Pasta with Zucchini

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add sliced zucchini and minced garlic and saute for about 5-7 minutes, occasionally stirring, until zucchini softens and browns a bit, uncovered. Midway through cooking, season with salt.

Step 2

Note: Depending on the size of your skillet, you might have to cook zucchini in 2 separate batches.

Step 3

Cook pasta according to pasta instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water (to stop pasta from cooking).

Step 4

Add cooked pasta into the skillet with zucchini and garlic, on low heat.

Step 5

Add freshly shredded Parmesan cheese into the skillet and stir pasta on low heat to melt the cheese. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
