Zucchini one-pot pasta with mint, spring onions, and olive oil. Make the one-pot pasta with zucchini recipe on a healthy, weekday!
Zucchini one-pot pasta is an easy recipe for weekdays. Making one-pot pasta with zucchini is easy, fast, and gives excellent, healthy results.
Mint is the best herb to exalt zucchini flavors. And spring onions (you can use shallots too) are delicate enough to not cover their taste.
I use a large pan instead of a pot, but it’s quite the same thing.
When you cook one-pot pasta, you only have to worry about water measures and check every now and then, eventually adding hot water to finish cooking the pasta. Apart from that, zucchini one-pot pasta is a creamy pasta dish, a texture you get from starches released by the pasta into the cooking water, no need to add cream or butter! A healthy pasta for a tasty weekday lunch or dinner.
