A Simple Pasta Dish….

It is starting to get very warm here in Utah. Today hit a whopping 90 degrees. That’s hot in my opinion. And with warm weather my menu turns simple. I just do not like standing in the hot kitchen for very long periods of time. I like to get in, get out, clean up and move on with my night. Tonight brought a simple pasta dish consisting of linguine, zucchini, browned butter with garlic, and parmesan cheese. Very simple, but very tasty. Just my kind of dish for a hot day. Try it. Love it. Enjoy!
Linguine with Zucchini, Browned Butter and Garlic
1/2 pound Linguine
1/2 cup reserved water from cooked pasta
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 small zucchini, chopped to your liking
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
salt and pepper
Cook linguine in salted boiling water until al dente, reserving 1/2 cup of the water. In a small saucepan melt butter and garlic together on medium low heat until bubbly and slightly browned. Set aside. In a large skillet on medium heat, add olive oil and zucchini and cook slightly, about 3-4 minutes. Add cooked pasta, butter, reserved pasta water and parmesan cheese. Stir together until well combined. Salt and pepper to taste.
