🛒 Ingredientes

For the Pasta:

🍝 12 oz fettuccine or linguine
🧄 4 dientes de ajo picados
🧈 2 tbsp unsalted butter
🫒 1 cucharada de aceite de oliva
🍋 Zest of 1 lemon
🍋 Juice of 1½ lemons
🥣 1 cup heavy cream
🧀 ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
🌿 1 tsp dried thyme
🧂 Sal y pimienta al gusto
🌿 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

For the Roasted Zucchini:

🥒 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into half-moons
🫒 1 cucharada de aceite de oliva
🧂 Salt, black pepper, and chili flakes to taste

👩‍🍳 Instrucciones

1. Roast the Zucchini

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss zucchini with olive oil, salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Spread on a baking tray and roast for 20 minutes or until tender and slightly golden.

2. Boil the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain.

3. Prepare the Lemon Garlic Sauce

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter with olive oil. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Stir in lemon zest, juice, and thyme. Pour in cream, reduce heat, and let simmer for 3–4 minutes.

4. Combine Pasta & Sauce

Add drained pasta to the skillet. Toss to coat. Gradually add Parmesan, stirring until melted. If sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water.

5. Serve

Top each plate with roasted zucchini and sprinkle with fresh parsley and extra lemon zest. Add cracked pepper and a final grating of Parmesan.
