Ingredients
- 1 tbs olive oil
- pinch chili flakes
- 2 medium zucchini, sliced into half moons
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 pound penne rigate
- 1/3 cup fresh ricotta (not the packaged kind, it’s really not the same.)
- 1/4 cup grated parmigiano (or cheese of your choice)
Preparation
Step 1
Heat a skillet over medium heat, add the oil and the chili flakes. Let sizzle for a few seconds. Add the chopped onion and the zucchini and season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini are tender. In the meantime, bring a pot of salted water to a boil, and cook the penne according to instructions for al dente. Drain, reserving about 1/3 cup of the pasta cooking liquid. (You probably won’t use it all.) Toss penne in the skillet with the zucchini, lowering the heat to a simmer. Add the ricotta and a bit of the water at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Sprinkle with the parmigiano and serve immediately.
