This is a great use for zucchini! Recipe is from Rachael Ray. Ingredients:
1 lb corkscrew macaroni, such as rotini |
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil |
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped |
1/2 cup italian seasoned breadcrumbs |
3 zucchini, about 1 pound and thinly sliced |
4 ears corn, kernels scraped off |
6 ounces swiss cheese, shredded |
salt |
pepper |
1/4 cup fresh basil, finely chopped (chop the basil just before using to keep it from turning black) |
Directions:
1. In large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the pasta until al dente.
2. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the pasta cooking water and the pot.
3. Meanwhile, in a small skillet, heat 2 T olive oil over medium heat.
4. Add half of the garlic and cook until golden, about 30 seconds.
5. Stir in the breadcrumbs and remove from the heat.
6. In the reserved pasta pot, heat the remaining 2 T olive oil over medium heat.
7. Add the remaining garlic and cook until golden, about 30 seconds.; add the zucchini and cook, turning occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
8. Stir in the corn, cooked pasta and reserved 1 cup pasta cooking water.
9. Add 1 cup cheese and toss; season with salt and pepper.
10. Stir the remaining cheese and basil into the breadcrumb mixture and sprinkle on top of the pasta.
