Zucchini Pasta with Pine Nuts

Directions

Ingredients :

3 tablespoons pine nuts

6 ounces thin spaghetti

3 tablespoons olive oil

½ yellow onion

diced

3 cloves garlic

pressed

1 zucchini

thinly sliced into rounds

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

salt and ground black pepper to taste

½ cup milk

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 roma tomato

diced

Methods :

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir pine nuts in the hot skillet until toasted and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and return pasta to pot to keep warm.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; saute onion and garlic until onion softens, 5 to 10 minutes. Add zucchini, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper; cook and stir until zucchini is translucent, about 5 minutes.

Pour milk over zucchini mixture and simmer until zucchini is softened, 5 to 10 minutes; add pasta and toss. Transfer pasta mixture to plates and top each with Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, tomato, and black pepper.
