How to prepare Pasta and zucchini

To prepare pasta and zucchini, boil water in a large pan and add salt when it comes to a boil. In the meantime, wash and dry the zucchini 1, trim and grate them with an extra coarse grater 2. Pour the extra virgin olive oil in a fairly large pan and heat it over low heat together with a peeled garlic clove.

As soon as the oil is hot, add the zucchini 4 seasoned with salt and pepper and let them cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally; then remove the garlic 5. In the meantime, cook the pasta in boiling salted water 6 and drain it al dente, keeping a little cooking water.

Pour the pasta directly into the pan with the zucchini and add a little cooking water 7, sweat for a few moments, stir, then turn off the heat. Add a few fragrant hand-torn basil leaves 8 and your pasta and zucchini is ready to be enjoyed 9.
