• Roasted Garlic and Zucchini Pasta

    Creamy Roasted Garlic and Tender Zucchini Pasta Delight

    Ingredients:

    12 oz spaghetti or your favorite pasta

    3 medium zucchinis, sliced into half-moons

    1 whole bulb of garlic

    3 tablespoons olive oil, divided

    1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

    1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped

    1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

    Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

    Juice of half a lemon

    Directions:

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the top off the garlic bulb, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 30-35 minutes until soft and golden.

    While garlic roasts, cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water before draining.

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add zucchini slices, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until tender and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

    Once garlic is cool enough to handle, squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into a bowl and mash into a smooth paste.

    Add the roasted garlic paste to the skillet with zucchini. Toss in cooked pasta and Parmesan cheese. Add lemon juice and red pepper flakes, if using.

    Slowly add reserved pasta water a little at a time to create a silky sauce, tossing until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

    Garnish with fresh basil and extra Parmesan before serving.
