Description
A quick and easy one pot pasta recipe featuring fresh zucchini, garlic, and Parmesan cheese. Perfect for a simple weeknight dinner with minimal cleanup.
Ingredients
12 ounces dried linguine pasta
2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced
4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup water
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
Instructions
In a large pot or deep skillet, combine the linguine pasta, sliced zucchinis, vegetable broth, water, sliced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Drizzle the olive oil over the ingredients in the pot.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to prevent the pasta from sticking.
Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 12 to 15 minutes.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh basil over the pasta and gently toss to combine.
Serve immediately.
