Categories     main course, side dish

Time 20m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1 medium zucchini, diced small
3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
2 medium tomatoes, seeded and diced small
2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
3 tablespoons thinly sliced basil leaves
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
4 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • To make the sauce, heat the olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced zucchini and cook until browned, about 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, parsley, basil, salt and pepper and cook until heated through, about 1 minute longer.
  • To make the pasta, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Place the halved zucchini on a work surface, cut side down, and slice lengthwise into thin strips. Place in the pot and cook for 3 minutes. Drain well. Place in a large bowl, sprinkle with the salt and toss with the tomato sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Divide among 4 plates and serve immediately.

This dish was a bit too oily for my taste, but I think that's because I used too much olive oil. I'll definitely try it again with less oil next time.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste, but I think that's because I didn't use enough salt. I'll definitely try it again with more salt next time.
