Provided by luv2cook

Time 1h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 ½ pounds zucchini, sliced
½ cup olive oil, or more as needed
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, or more to taste
1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
½ cup grated aged provolone cheese
¾ cup chopped fresh basil
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place zucchini slices on a plate and let dry for 1 hour.
  • Heat 1/2 cup oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add zucchini slices in batches and deep fry until brown, 10 to 15 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels and allow to cool. Mash 1/3 of the zucchini.
  • Place 3 tablespoons olive oil and garlic cloves in a large saucepan over low heat. Watch carefully and simmer until garlic cloves are a light golden brown and oil is infused with garlic flavor, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in mashed zucchini. Add zucchini slices.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain spaghetti, reserving some cooking water.
  • Add spaghetti and provolone cheese to the saucepan. Toss and add hot pasta water until sauce becomes creamy. Mix in basil, season with salt and pepper, and serve.

SPAGHETTI WITH ZUCCHINI



Spaghetti with Zucchini image

Lo Scoglio in Positano, Italy, is one of Katie Lee's favorite old restaurants. After a recent trip to the Amalfi Coast, she came home with the best possible souvenir: a recipe for Lo Scoglio's famous zucchini pasta. "The owner said it wouldn't be the same because we don't have their zucchini in the States," says Katie, "but I think it's about 98 percent there!"

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 clove garlic, smashed
2 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
6 fresh basil leaves, torn
1/3 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese, plus more for topping
Kosher salt
8 ounces spaghetti
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup grated pecorino cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente, 9 to 11 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain the pasta.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic; when it begins to sizzle, add the zucchini and saute for a couple of minutes. Add 1/4 cup of the pasta water and cook until the zucchini is tender, about 5 minutes. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and half of the basil. Remove the garlic.
  • Add the pasta to the skillet along with about 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water; shake the pan vigorously, adding a little more cooking water if the pasta looks dry. Cook, tossing, until the liquid is absorbed, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the parmigiano, pecorino and the remaining basil; toss. Top with more Parmesan.

ZUCCHINI-GARLIC PASTA



Zucchini-Garlic Pasta image

My Italian neighbor gave me the ingredients for this salad, but he didn't have the measurements written down. I experimented and came up with this recipe, which is a nice side dish with many meals. There are many garlic producers here in California, so I think this recipe represents our area well.
