Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound medium-size zucchini, about 6, diced
Salt
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cup minced onion
1 cup pine nuts
3 cloves garlic, slivered
1 pound fresh fettuccine
Freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons minced flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/2 cup grated Grana Padano

Steps:

  • Place zucchini in a colander, toss with salt and set aside to drain in sink or over a bowl 30 minutes. Meanwhile, heat 3 tablespoons oil in a heavy sauté pan, add onion, pine nuts and garlic and sauté over low heat about 10 minutes, until onion is soft and nuts start to brown. Rinse and drain zucchini and add to pan. Sauté about 20 minutes, until tender.

Add pasta to sauté pan, cook over low heat about 5 minutes, to blend ingredients, adding pasta water as needed. Season with salt and pepper.

I made this dish last night and it was so easy and delicious! I used whole wheat fettuccine and added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes. It was a great way to use up some of the zucchini from my garden.
