Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add pasta and cook to al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water; set aside.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add walnuts and toast until fragrant and golden, 2-3 minutes. Remove nuts (leaving oil in pan) using a slotted spoon and season them with salt.
Step 3
Add the shallots to the skillet with oil and cook over medium-high heat until softened, 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add crushed red pepper flakes (if using) and half the zucchini. Season with salt and pepper and cook until beginning to soften, 6-8 minutes. Add the remaining zucchini and capers and season again with salt and pepper. Cook 6-8 minutes longer, until the remaining zucchini begins to soften.
Step 5
Add the garlic and lemon juice and toss to combine.
Step 6
Add the pasta, walnuts, parmesan and herbs and gently toss again. Drizzle with additional olive oil and season again with salt and pepper, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Enjoy!
