Spaghetti alla Nerano

6.5 oz spaghetti

zucchini (tiny sliced)

Provolone del Monaco cheese

Parmigiano Reggiano cheese (grated)

Basil

garlic (slightly smashed and with the skin on)

Extra virgin olive oil (as needed)

Salt & pepper (as needed)

Place a large pot with water over medium-high heat. While waiting for the water to boil proceed with the recipe.

Heat a good amount of olive oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the zucchini until slightly brown.

Place zucchini on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.

Once the zucchini are all fried sprinkle with a pinch of salt and a few hand-torn basil leaves.

Add salt to the pot with water and cook the spaghetti until very al dente.

While the pasta is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a sauté pan over medium-high heat.

Stir the garlic until fragrant, then remove it from the pan.

Add the fried zucchini to the pan, reserving some for garnish.

Pour a ladleful of the cooking water and cook for about one minute.

Drain and add the pasta to the pan, then add the provolone and about 3 tablespoons of Parmigiano cheese.

Pour in another ladleful of the cooking water, and more hand-torn basil. Then turn off the heat.

Stir vigorously for one minute or until the cheese has melted and turned into a creamy sauce that coats perfectly the pasta.

Place spaghetti on a serving plate. Garnish with the zucchini you reserved before, freshly cracked pepper, and more Parmigiano cheese.
