what you need
2 cloves fresh garlic, thinly sliced or minced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon zest
(optional) 1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 zucchini, cute into small slices
1 small handful of angel hair pasta
2 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup good parmesan cheese
salt & pepper to taste
how to make it
Set a pot of salted water to boil. Add your pasta and boil until cooked through.
In a pan, sauté garlic and zucchini until al dente in the first tablespoon of butter. Remove from heat until the pasta is ready. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter, all the lemon, and a bit of black pepper.
Return to heat and add the pasta using tongs, allowing several tablespoons of the pasta water to spill into the pan (no need to drain). Toss the mixture once or twice.
After about a minute of sizzle and simmer, add the cheese and some salt and give the pasta another couple of tosses. Plate immediately and top with a bit more parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
