Garlic Zucchini Pasta
Ingredients
  • 1 pound rotini pasta
  • 5 small zucchini, sliced
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Begin by filling a large container with water, adding a moderate amount of salt to the mixture. Place the pot on high heat and wait for it to reach a rolling boil.
2
Next, place a large pot of boiling water on the stovetop and add 8 to 10 minutes of cooking time. Once the pasta is cooked, yet still retaining a slight firmness in the center, remove it from the water using a strainer.
3
Simultaneously, fill a medium-sized saucepan with boiling water and add sliced zucchini. Continue to heat the mixture until the vegetables are tender, approximately 3 minutes.
4
Meanwhile, heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Introduce minced garlic and red pepper flakes into the hot oil, allowing them to release their flavors and aromas.
5
Add sliced zucchini and chopped parsley to the skillet, stirring occasionally as they cook until the leaves have wilted.
6
Combine cooked pasta and sautéed zucchini mixture in a large bowl, ensuring they are well incorporated. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top and season with salt and pepper to taste.
