Ingredients

Directions

  • Heat the oil in a wide skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic clove and sauté until the garlic is golden. Remove the garlic and add the zucchini rounds., Cook zucchini until tender but not brown. As they finish cooking, lay the zucchini slices on paper towels to absorb the excess oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente (see package instructions for details). Drain, reserving 1 cup of hot pasta water.
  • In a food processor or blender, blend together 1/3 of the zucchini and 1/4 cup pasta water. Pour the puree into a large serving bowl.
  • Add the spaghetti, zucchini rounds and hot pasta water to the puree. Mix everything together vigorously for a minute or two.
  • Then add the grated cheese and continue mixing until the cheese has completely melted into a creamy sauce, adding more pasta water if needed.
  • Top with basil and serve.
