Preparation
- Cook the pasta in a pot of boiling salted water according to the package instructions, then drain, reserving a cupful of cooking water. Meanwhile, slice the zucchini lengthways, then again into long matchsticks with good knife skills or using the julienne cutter on a mandoline (use the guard!). Place a large non-stick frying pan on a medium-high heat with the olive oil, then add the zucchini. Cook for 4 minutes, tossing regularly, while you finely slice the mint leaves, then stir them into the pan.

Docshiva| 07/04/2021I would call this a lightened up version of paglia e fieno, using zucchini - I used a cutter to make zucchini noodles - instead of spinach pasta, and skipping the cream sauce. That made it light, summery, and still delicious.
This is a good recipe as is, and easy to make simple changes if you want. I see people have added things like basil and garlic, for instance. I added two small cloves of garlic, pressed, and I think that made a big difference to the flavor and balance. As much mint as I have, I still decreased it some. I'd serve it with sliced fresh tomatoes with a little lemon juice, olive oil, S&P, and parsley for a quick, easy side.

I made this tonight but with the addition of an assortment of mushrooms and green onions. Easy and a wonderful light meal for these hot days.
