How to make it
- In a large stock pot, heat the water and salt until boiling. Add the pasta and cook until al dente. Drain, but do not rinse.
- Meanwhile in a large skillet or dutch oven, heat the olive oil until lightly smoking. Add the onion and celery, season with salt, and saute until browned. Add the garlic and chili flakes and saute until the edges of the garlic just start to brown. Add the white wine to deglaze and reduce by half. Add the tomatoes, the reserved juice from the tomatoes, and the zucchini, and simmer until the liquid thickens slightly and the zucchini is tender, about 8-10 minutes. Add the fresh thyme, season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper, then add the pasta to the sauce and toss.
- Divide the pasta into four bowls. Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil over each portion, and generously sprinkle with the cheese.
