About this recipe
Penne with zucchini and feta is a light yet filling dinner with sautéed zucchini and salty cheese. A brief sauté softens and lightly browns the zucchini, garlic adds a savory aroma, and feta combines with pasta cooking water to form a simple creamy sauce. Do not overcook the zucchini; it should retain some texture rather than turn mushy. Add the feta at the end so you can better control the sauce’s saltiness and consistency. Serve immediately, while the pasta is evenly coated with cheese and olive oil.
Ingredients
Servings: 4
250 g penne pasta
1 large zucchini
80 g feta cheese
1 garlic clove
1 tablespoon olive oil
Steps
Cook the penne until al dente and reserve some cooking water to bring the feta, olive oil, and juices from the sautéed zucchini together into a light sauce.
Sauté the zucchini with the garlic in a skillet for 4–5 minutes, until the zucchini is lightly browned and softened.
Add the crumbled feta and a little pasta cooking water to create a light, creamy sauce.
Add the penne to the zucchini and feta and toss briefly, until the cheese combines with the olive oil, garlic, and juices from the sautéed zucchini.
Serve immediately, while the feta is still slightly creamy and the zucchini is warm and tender but not falling apart.
