Provided by Geraldine

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups penne pasta
3 small/medium sized zucchini (about 1 pound) - quartered vertically then sliced into 1/4″ slices.
1 veggie bouillon cube
3 tbs olive oil
3 large cloves of garlic - minced
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
2.5 oz of goat cheese - half a 5 oz package - crumbled
1/2 large lemon - about 3 tbs
1/4 cup slivered almonds - toasted
2 tbs minced parsley - I used flat leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add bouillon cube and pasta and cook according to package instructions. Before draining pasta, set aside a little pasta water to add to the sauce if the pasta seems too dry.
  • In a large sauté pan, toast almonds over high heat for 1 minute until slightly browned. Shake the pan continuously so they don't burn. Set aside.
  • Using the same large sauté pan, heat 1 tbs of olive oil over medium heat and add the zucchini, one clove of minced garlic and 8 twists of black pepper from a pepper mill. Stir occasionally until zucchini is nicely brown and cooked through - about 8 minutes.
  • When pasta is done, drain and set aside in the colander. In the same pan that you cooked the pasta, add 2 tbs olive oil, 2 minced cloves of garlic, lemon juice and red pepper flakes. The pan will be hot so swirl the ingredients around for 30 seconds then add in the drained pasta and most of the crumbled goat cheese. Stir to combine. Add in the cooked zucchini, toasted almonds and minced parsley. Toss gently to combine. If pasta and goat cheese sauce seem dry then add a few tablespoons of reserved pasta water to loosen up the sauce. Sprinkle a little crumbled goat cheese on the top of the dish before serving. Serve immediately.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 T extra virgin olive oil
2 1/2 lbs zucchini (about 3 medium), grated on the largest holes of box grater
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 lb dried pasta, short shapes are best
4 ounces soft goat cheese, like chevre
1/2 C chopped parsley (or other tender herb)
Zest and juice of one lemon

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium low heat. Add the zucchini and salt. Cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, making sure nothing is sticking to the bottom of the pan (lowering the heat if it does). Until most of the liquid that the zucchini leaches out has been evaporated and the zucchini takes on a jammy consistency. Set aside.
  • Boil the pasta in a large pot of heavily salted water until just al dente. Reserve about a cup of the water and drain the pasta. Add the pasta to the pan with zucchini butter and toss with half of the reserved pasta cooking liquid over medium heat. Add the goat cheese, parsley, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir to combine, adding more pasta water if necessary.
  • Serve immediately.

PASTA WITH ZUCCHINI AND GOAT CHEESE



Pasta With Zucchini and Goat Cheese image

Knowing that one can never have too many zucchini recipes, I wrote this down on a piece of scrap paper in the waiting room at a doctor's office. It's super tasty and simple, perfect for a weeknight. The goat cheese makes a creamy sauce for the linguine, and complements the flavor of the sauteed squash nicely. In addition to the lemon zest, I recommend adding some thinly sliced fresh basil when serving. From Real Simple (June 08).
