Description

This fresh and light dish is like summer in a bowl!

Ingredients

  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • 1 whole Zucchini
  • 16 ounces, weight Farfalle Pasta
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 2 whole Lemons, Juiced
  • ½ cups Feta Cheese
  • 4 Tablespoons Fresh Parsley

Preparation

Chop up the garlic cloves into small chunks, and slice the zucchini. Quarter the zucchini slices. Cook the pasta according to package directions.

In a medium sauce pan, melt the butter and olive oil over low heat. Add in the minced garlic and lemon juice, and then sauté for 1-2 minutes or until the garlic is tender. Add in the zucchini and cook 3-4 minutes longer until the zucchini begins to brown and has soaked in the lemon flavor.

Toss the lemon-zucchini mixture with the cooked pasta, and then sprinkle the feta cheese over the top. Garnish with the parsely.

Made this recipe for my family last night…..wonderful! It’s especially good with fresh ground black pepper. I’m always searching for recipes for zucchini. Lord knows we have enough for cake, bread muffins…..

This is just delicious! I tried so hard to eat this as leftovers, but my craving for it got the best of me. My husband and I just loved it. We didn’t have any parsley, so I grabbed some fresh basil and threw some on top! It was really good!

Just made this tonight and it is so good. Unlike myself, the rest of my family isn’t too big on lemon, so I only used one lemon. I was out of fresh garlic, so I had to used minced out of the fridge. I think I might add some chicken next time to make it a heartier meal, but it really is good as is.

I made this for dinner using parmesan cheese instead of feta. My husband doesn’t like feta. It was great and another way to use those zucchini that keep appearing in the garden. I think the leftovers will make good cold side dish. The lemon really brightens it up.
