Time 35m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons pine nuts
6 ounces thin spaghetti
3 tablespoons olive oil
½ yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, pressed
1 zucchini, thinly sliced into rounds
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup milk
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 roma tomato, diced

Steps:

  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir pine nuts in the hot skillet until toasted and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and return pasta to pot to keep warm.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; saute onion and garlic until onion softens, 5 to 10 minutes. Add zucchini, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper; cook and stir until zucchini is translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour milk over zucchini mixture and simmer until zucchini is softened, 5 to 10 minutes; add pasta and toss. Transfer pasta mixture to plates and top each with Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, tomato, and black pepper.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This recipe was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would use less olive oil next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the sauce turned out too salty. I would recommend using less salt next time.
