Ingredients

For one serving.

  • Whole wheat pasta(Pâtes complètes)120 g
  • Zucchini(Courgette)1
  • Cherry tomatoes(Tomates cerises)150 g
  • Parmesan cheese(Parmesan)30 g
  • Olive oil(Huile d'olive)2 tbsp
  • Basil(Basilic)10 leaves
  • Garlic(Ail)2 cloves

Preparation

Step by step, from pantry to plate.

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta until just tender. Drain, reserving a little cooking water.

  2. While the pasta cooks, slice the zucchini, halve the cherry tomatoes, mince the garlic, and tear the basil leaves.

  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook briefly until fragrant.

  4. Add the zucchini to the skillet with a pinch of salt and cook until it starts to soften.

  5. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook until they begin to burst and make a light sauce.

  6. Add the drained pasta to the skillet along with a splash of the reserved pasta water. Toss everything together until coated.

  7. Remove from the heat, stir in the basil, and finish with the Parmesan cheese and a little black pepper before serving.

Good to know

Save a little pasta water so the sauce clings nicely to the noodles.
