Penne with Zucchini and Basil
Ingredients
- 13.25 ounces penne
- 3 small to medium zucchini, sliced 1/4-inch thick
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch or two of red pepper flakes
- 6-8 fresh basil, chopped into thin strips
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Cook penne according to package directions.
- While the penne cooks, in a large skillet heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the chopped garlic, heating until it begins to sizzle, about 1 minute.
- Add the sliced zucchini, salt, pepper and red pepper. Saute for 7-10 minutes, or until the zucchini is crisp tender.
- Add the hot, drained pasta to the olive oil, stirring to coat. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese.
- Season with salt and pepper or drizzle with additional olive oil, if needed.
