Let’s start preparing
Let’s start preparing the Cold Pasta with Zucchini and Feta; wash and dry the zucchini, cut them lengthwise and then cut each half into two parts.
Cut again into strips to create small cubes.
Pour the zucchini into a bowl and add the salt and lemon juice, mix and let rest for half an hour.After half an hour, use a colander to remove all the excess water that has come out.
Put a pot of lightly salted water on the stove to cook the pasta. Once ready, run it under cold water to stop the cooking and prevent it from becoming overcooked.
At this point, pour the pasta into a large salad bowl and add the zucchini and feta cut into cubes, the celery stalk in cubes, the tomatoes in pieces, and the mint.
Season with extra virgin olive oil and pepper. A nice mix and you’re ready to serve.
And enjoy your meal!!
