How to make zucchini cream for pasta
Let’s start preparing the zucchini cream for pasta. Wash the zucchinis, trim them, and cut them into pieces.
Pour some extra virgin olive oil and the garlic clove into a pan, put it on the stove and let it flavor for a few minutes. Add the zucchinis, 2 tablespoons of water, and chopped parsley, cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once cooked, transfer them to the blender’s glass, add a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, and blend until you get a cream.
Use the zucchini cream to dress the pasta, perhaps thinning it with pasta cooking water to make it even smoother and creamier.
