When draining the pasta, be sure to reserve ½ cup of pasta water.Add pasta water to zucchini sauce

Remove sauce from heat and allow to cool slightly before transferring to a high speed blender

Transfer the sauce back to the sauce pan and add in Parmesan cheese along with pasta

Toss until pasta is coated, adding more pasta water if too thick, and serve topped with more parmesan and freshly ground pepper.

This was so delicious and very easy to make! Even my 2 year old enjoyed it!

This was SO delicious!
I added some fresh sweet corn and topped with balsamic roasted cherry tomatoes. 
This will now be in regular rotation.
Thank you!

I added lemon zest and a bit of lemon juice to bring some needed acidity. I also used leeks for half the shallot amount and a bit of dill in addition to the basil.

Once again, one of your recipes turned out amazing! My entire family gobbled this up! It’s going into the rotation as we work our way through an abundance of zuchinni!

So delicious! This is a wonderful addition to my zucchini rotation. Especially nice for me since I cannot eat tomatoes or peppers so a great pasta sauce alternative.

This was so simple and yummy! I subbed half the heavy cream for whole milk and added spicy Italian chicken sausage. The whole family loved it!

Made this for dinner was a big hit with the whole family even our picky toddler who I thought for sure would reject this enjoyed it immensely. It would be great if there was a plant based substitute for the dairy as someone who is lactose intolerant. I thought about using coconut but felt the sweetness would ruin the savory flavors. Anyhow will make again, I really like your recipes!

I read a question about subbing almond milk. That alters the taste in most of my recipes, but coconut cream does not and gives you the same richness heavy cream does without the dairy! Made this tonight and it was DELISH! Great way to use zucchini!!!

Delicious! Made this on a whim for lunch after seeing its reel on IG. Was very quick to prepare (even faster if you have an immersion blender) and easy to cut the recipe in half. Only change I made was a little lemon zest and squeeze of juice at the end to brighten it up a bit. Would be a great side to grilled or breaded chicken or pork cutlet. 
Thanks Modern Proper! Been a long time follower and first time commenter. LOVE your recipes.
