Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 chicken breast, diced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried basil
2 zucchinis, peeled
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup chicken broth
½ cup greek yogurt
½ cup parmesan cheese, grated
½ teaspoon dried basil

Steps:

  • Use a peeler to thinly slice zucchini into "linguini" noodles. Set aside in a bowl and mix with salt. Let sit for 20 minutes to draw moisture out of the noodles. Drain the zucchini with a clean dish cloth or paper towels.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add in chicken breast, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook until no longer pink. Add in zucchini noodles, cherry tomatoes, and dried basil. Cook for an additional minute and remove from heat. Set aside in a bowl.
  • Heat olive oil for for the creamy sauce in the skillet. Add in garlic cloves and cook for about 30 seconds. Add in chicken broth to cool skillet, and reduce heat to low. (This step is important: if skillet is too hot, the Greek yogurt will curdle, so allow it to cool down before adding it in).

Linguine With Zucchini image

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, weekday, pastas

Time 30m

Yield 3 main dish servings, 4 or more first-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
2/3 cup finely chopped fresh tomato
1 pound zucchini, in fine julienne
6 sun-dried tomatoes, in fine slivers
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of dried red pepper flakes
1/2 pound linguine
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Set three quarts of salted water over high heat in a large covered pot.
  • While the water is heating, place a large skillet over medium heat and add four tablespoons of the olive oil. Add the onion and saute for a few minutes, until tender but not brown. Stir in the garlic, cook briefly, then add the tomato. Cook, stirring, over high heat until some of the liquid in the tomato evaporates.
  • Add the zucchini and stir-fry for a few minutes until the zucchini wilts. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes. Season to taste with salt and black and red pepper. Set aside.
  • When the water boils, add the linguine and cook uncovered until it is al dente, about seven minutes. Drain thoroughly. Lightly season the linguine with salt if desired, toss with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and divide among three or more individual plates.
  • While the linguine is draining, reheat the zucchini mixture. As soon as the linguine is portioned out, divide the zucchini mixture evenly, mounding it on top of each serving of pasta. Dust with Parmesan cheese and serve.
