A perfect duo: zucchini and wild garlic pesto. The spiciness and freshness of the pesto balances the sweetness of the fried zucchini, and the subtle garlic flavor complements the zucchini.

3 small young zucchini
2-3 tablespoons wild garlic pesto
olive oil
salt, pepper
Servings: 4
How to prepare pasta with zucchini
- Cut the zucchini into thin slices.
- Pour enough oil into a wide pan to cover the bottom well. Use olive oil as the zucchini will taste better. Heat the oil, then reduce to medium heat.
- Fry the zucchini slices in batches, so they are not crowded in the pan. Fry until lightly browned on the edges.
- Remove with a slotted spatula onto absorbent paper towels to drain the oil.
- When you've finished frying all the zucchini, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste and wild garlic pesto. Mix until combined.
- Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and add 2 tablespoons of the pasta water over the zucchini.
- Add the pasta over the zucchini and mix well. Adjust salt.
- Serve with parmesan sprinkled on top.
