🇮🇹 Italian

Prep 12 min Cook 5 min Serves 2 Easy

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Garlic3 cloves, minced
  • Potato400 g, boiled
  • Tomato Sauce2 tbsp
  • Olive Oil2 tbsp
  • Parmesan Cheese60 g
  • All-Purpose Flour200 g
  • Spring Onions3, sliced
  • Noodles250 g
  • Zucchini3, sliced

Optional extras

  • Fresh Basilhandful, to finish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil the Zucchini in aggressively salted water, stirring early, and set a timer for one minute less than the packet says.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, heat a generous glug of olive oil and crisp Noodles until the edges catch colour.

  3. 3

    Add Garlic with a splash of the pasta water so it steams and softens into the pan.

  4. 4

    Transfer the drained Zucchini into the pan and toss with real intent — tongs, high heat, thirty seconds of tossing.

  5. 5

    Watch the sauce: when it clings rather than pools, it's ready; more pasta water is the fix for anything too tight.

  6. 6

    Finish off the heat with cheese tossed through (never piled on top), and serve at once.

Chef's tip

Taste and adjust the salt at the end; sauces concentrate as they reduce.
