Servings: 2 servings
Calories: 668kcal

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Begin by boiling a large pot of water for your pasta. Salt water and cook pasta for desired time.
  • In a separate skillet, saute garlic and red pepper in olive oil for a few minutes until it starts to golden.
  • Add sliced zucchini and season with salt and pepper. Saute for another few minutes until the zucchini begin to color. The thinner they are, the faster it will cook.
  • When the pasta is done cooking, reserve about a ½c of pasta water (if need for a thinner consistency). Drain pasta and add directly to the skillet as well as the mascapone+lemon zest and fresh Parmesan. Turn heat off and toss to combine.
