Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups chopped spring onions, green parts removed (4 to 6 onions or more, depending on size)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup vegetable or chicken broth
  • 4 zucchini, sliced lengthwise into 1/16-inch-thick ribbons
  • 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

In a large saute pan, heat olive oil over medium-low heat. Add onions and cook slowly until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Add wine and broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-high; cook 5 more minutes, or until slightly thickened.

Place zucchini in a large mixing bowl and pour hot onion mixture over the top. Add cheese, salt and pepper. Toss gently and serve immediately. Garnish with additional cheese, if desired.
