Directions
Garlic Lover’s Fettuccine With Olive Oil, Garlic and Zucchini, Entered for safe-keeping. From Martha Rose Schulman’s Fast Vegetarian Feasts, received in February 2009 Cookbook Swap. This is based on Italian Pasta Aglio e Olio pasta with oil and garlic, adding zucchini that has been cut in matchsticks and briefly steamed, then tossed with the pasta and the oil, garlic, and Parmesan cheese. Although the author says 2-3 teaspoons of finely minced garlic is a lot, I would tend to add more, just because… DH and I love garlic., 5 stars for flavor and for ease of preparation. FANTASTIC! Had the wrong shape of pasta and no fresh herbs and it still rocked the house. Used a julienne slicer from Pampered Chef on the zucchini, steamed it briefly in the microwave. Added a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic and oil while that was steeping. Not a bit left over, suitable for the meat eater and the vegetarian. Can’t wait to make this again!, My husband really enjoyed this!!! I did leave out the parmesan to make vegan and was going to use pine nuts instead but we were out so I just mixed a bit of nutritional yeast & hemp seed together and topped the pasta with that. Served this with salad and garlic bread. The leftovers made a excellent lunch the next day as well. Thanks so much!!

Meanwhile, Heat the Olive Oil With the Garlic in a Small Pan Over Very Low Heat. the Garlic Should Simmer Very Gently, Never Turning Brown, but Just Golden. If It Cooks Too Quickly, It Will Burn. It Should Simmer For About 10 Minutes. When It Is Golden and the Oil Aromatic, Remove from the Heat. |
