Zucchini Pasta and Lemon Crumbs

Nutrition per serve

Ingredients

• 2pcs zucchini
• 1pcs lemon
• 50g parmesan
• 40g panko breadcrumbs
• 250g spaghetti
• 1pcs vegetable stock cubes
• 10g Italian seasoning
• 23ml olive oil

Method

1. Step 1 — Prep ingredients
   Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil for the spaghetti. Cut the zucchini into 1cm-thick rounds. Finely grate the zest of half the lemon, then juice the half. Cut the remaining lemon into wedges. Finely grate the parmesan.
2. Step 2 — Make lemon crumbs
   Heat 2 tsp olive oil in a large deep frypan over medium-high heat. Cook the breadcrumbs, stirring, for 3-4 mins until golden. Transfer to a bowl, add the lemon zest, season with salt and pepper and stir to combine. Reserve the pan.
3. Step 3 — Cook pasta
   Add three-quarters of the spaghetti* (see Did you know?) to the pan of boiling water and cook, stirring occasionally, for 12 mins or until al dente. Reserve 125ml (½ cup) cooking water, then drain. Crumble 1 stock cube* into the reserved cooking water and stir to dissolve.
4. Step 4 — Cook zucchini
   Meanwhile, heat 1 tbs olive oil in the reserved pan over medium-high heat. Cook the zucchini for 5-6 mins each side until browned and tender. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the Italian seasoning and stock, then coarsely mash the zucchini. Cook, stirring, for 1-2 mins until slightly thickened.
5. Step 5 — Serve up
   Add the spaghetti to the zucchini mixture and toss to combine. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in three-quarters of the parmesan and 2 tsp lemon juice*. Taste, then season with salt and pepper. Divide the zucchini pasta among bowls, then scatter with the lemon crumbs and remaining parmesan. Serve with the lemon wedges and enjoy!
