INGREDIENTS
- 1 lb pasta (penne works well)
- 2 tbsp ghee (or neutral oil)
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced in half moons
- 1 lb cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 cup cream
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 3/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped basil
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a large pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. Once boiling, add 1 tbsp kosher salt and the pasta. Return the water and pasta to a boil and cook until al dente, according to the pasta instructions. Once the pasta is cooked, reserve 1 cup of the pasta water. Drain the pasta and return the pasta to the stock pot until the sauce is prepared.
- While the pasta is cooking, melt the ghee (or oil) in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Once the ghee is melted, add the pieces of zucchini in an even layer. Sauté until brown, 4-6 minutes. Flip the pieces over and brown on the other side as well, for 4-6 minutes. When the zucchini is browned, remove the pieces from the skillet and set them aside.
- In the same skillet over medium heat, add the prepared tomatoes. Cook until the tomatoes begin to burst and break down, 4-6 minutes. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes, and salt. Cook until the garlic is fragrant, 1 minute.
- Pour the tomatoes and zucchini into the pasta in the stock pot. Add the cream, red pepper flakes, and 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Turn the heat to medium-low and cook the pasta with the sauce until the mixture is hot and bubbling, 3-4 minutes. Turn off the heat.
- Add the cheese, lemon zest, and basil. Stir and add more pasta water to thin the sauce if needed. Serve immediately.
