Ingredients

Directions

  • Toast pine nuts over low heat in a dry skillet, careful not to burn. Once golden brown, remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions or until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water to finish sauce.
  • In the meantime, heat olive oil and garlic in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Once garlic becomes golden, discard. Add zucchini and pan-fry until evenly golden on both sides. Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Combine zucchini with hot pasta in the same saucepan. Cook together for about 2 minutes, stirring in the pine nuts and parsley.
