Zucchini Pasta
Late summer calls for tons of zucchini! Use your leftover produce to make this vibrant green sauce that pairs perfectly with pasta.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
½ pound pasta of choice, we used cavatappi
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 medium sized shallot, thinly sliced
2 green zucchini, cut into moons
1 large bundle of fresh basil
1/4 cup Califia Farms Zero Sugar Oatmilk
1/4 cup pasta water, adjust with more if needed
Lemon juice to taste, optional
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
01
Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta. Once boiling, add salt and boil pasta according to the package instructions.
02
While the pasta is cooking, start on the zucchini sauce. In a separate medium pot or skillet, heat up olive oil, add in sliced shallot, garlic, and sliced zucchini. Toss well until slightly caramelized and the zucchini are soft. Save a few cooked zucchini for garnish.
03
Toss zucchini mixture into a blender or food processor with basil, Zero Sugar Oatmilk, pasta water, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Blend until completely smooth.
04
Add cooked pasta to the empty pot or skillet, then pour over creamy zucchini sauce and toss to combine. Adjust with salt and pepper as needed.
05
Plate and serve with reserved zucchini, a couple sprigs of basil, drizzle of olive oil and fresh pepper. Enjoy!
