ZUCCHINI-BUTER SPAGHETTI RECIPE | REAL SIMPLE



Zucchini-Buter Spaghetti Recipe | Real Simple image

Zucchini butter coats every bit of this pasta for a luscious and creamy dish. Grated zucchini cooks alongside flavor powerhouses garlic and shallot. When it looks like it can be spread onto bread or a cracker (which we also highly recommend) that’s when you know it’s read. It takes 20 minutes max. A tiny amount of butter adds just the right amount of richness in this zucchini pasta recipe. Swap regular pasta for a whole-grain option such as kamut, farro, or whole wheat. Or make it gluten-free with brown rice pasta.

8 ounces brown rice spaghetti, whole-wheat spaghetti, kamut spaghetti, or farro spaghetti

PENNE PASTA WITH ZUCCHINI AND BUTTER RECIPE | GOOD FOOD



Penne pasta with zucchini and butter Recipe | Good Food image

In this pasta dish I've opted for penne, but you can use any short pasta. Likewise, lots of different vegetables can take the place of zucchini – just cut them fine so they melt into the sauce. Finally, don't buy cheap pasta. This dish is so simple you want the pasta to be the hero, and you can taste the difference in quality.

Total Time 30 minutes

Yield SERVES 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 medium zucchini
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, peeled and thinly sliced
320g penne
150g butter, softened
freshly chopped parsley, to serve
50g grated parmesan, to serve

Steps:

  • 1. Wash the zucchini and trim the ends. Cut into 1cm-thick discs. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil.

    2. Heat the oil over medium heat in a frying pan large enough to hold the zucchini in one layer. Add garlic and cook until softened, about one minute. Add zucchini, season and cook on both sides until beginning to brown, about 10 minutes.

    3. Meanwhile, cook the penne in the boiling salted water until al dente. Drain, reserving a little of the cooking water. 

    4. Add half the butter to zucchini, stir and lower the heat. Continue cooking, adding small amounts of the pasta water, if needed, to loosen any bits of zucchini stuck to the pan. Stir and scrape until zucchini slices have become soft and creamy, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in remaining butter and season to taste.

    5. Add the penne to the zucchini mixture and toss. Season to taste and serve with the chopped parsley and grated parmesan.
