Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

- ½ medium onion finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
- ¾ cup cream
- 50 grams parmesan finely grated
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
Cooking Instructions
- Prepare the zucchini. Grate with a box grater then place in a tea towel or muslin cloth and squeeze as much water out as you can. After squeezing I had 440 grams of grated zucchini. A bit more or less is fine!
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet that will fit all the pasta on a medium heat and add the zucchini, onion and garlic.
- Lower the heat, add a couple of big pinches of salt and gently cook down for 20 - 25 minutes until pretty much all of the moisture is gone and it is thick and jammy. Adjust your heat as needed, a low heat will be best.
Notes
Try and get close to the weight of 730 grams of zucchini but a bit more or less is fine. Just use 1 tablespoon of lemon juice if you don't want it really lemony.
