Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by filling a large pot with water, adding a generous pinch of salt, and bringing it to a boil over high heat.
- Once bubbling, add 8 oz of your chosen pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
- Drain the pasta in a colander and set it aside, ensuring you reserve about a cup of the pasta water for later.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.
- Once the oil shimmers, add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant and golden.
- Next, add your 2 medium zucchini, sliced into ribbons, to the skillet and sauté for approximately 3 minutes.
- Pour in a can of 14 oz whole tomatoes, breaking them up gently as they simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Carefully add the drained pasta into the skillet with the tomato sauce, tossing to combine.
- If too dry, stir in some reserved pasta water until you reach your desired sauce consistency.
- Plate your delicious Tomato Zucchini Pasta and generously top with 1/2 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
- For an extra touch, drizzle a little more olive oil over the top and serve immediately.
