Ingredients

Instructions

  • Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking water, and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, stir together the yogurt, Parmesan, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
  • Cut the zucchini into thin strips about 3 inches long and 3/4 inch wide- like a big stick of gum. Thinly slice garlic.
  • Add the oil to a large skillet and heat over medium-high.
  • Add zucchini to the hot oil and cook just until wilted, flipping occasionally with a spatula. (The zucchini should be soft and somewhat see-through.)
  • Use the spatula to push the cooked zucchini aside so a space on the bottom of the pan is clear. Add the garlic, and cook for 15 to 30 seconds, until golden but not really brown.
  • Stir in the tomatoes and cook another 2 minutes or so until softened.
  • Add the zucchini mixture and the pasta to the yogurt mixture, and toss gently to combine. If too thick, add the reserved water a tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
