Spaghetti with Zucchini Sauce

Ingredients:

1 lb spaghetti
1 cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic, crushed
4 large zucchini, coarsely grated
1 tsp black pepper
1/3 cup fresh basil leaves, shredded
1/3 cup pine nuts
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Method:

Boil pasta according to package instructions, drain and put into a big bowl

In a large pan, heat the olive oil and add the crushed garlic and zucchini. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes or until the zucchini has softened. Stir through the pepper and the basil leaves.

In a small pan toast the pine nuts, making sure that they don’t burn.

This is a delicious and quick pasta dish. Enjoy with crusty French bread and a tossed green salad.
