Ingredients

12 ounces (3/4 of the box) linguine

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 pound zucchini, sliced into thin half-moons

Kosher salt and pepper

1 clove garlic, chopped

5 ounces fresh goat cheese, crumbled

2 teaspoons grated lemon zest

Directions

Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water, drain the pasta, and return it to the pot.

While you put pasta in to cook start on 'sauce'

Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the zucchini, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring, until the zucchini is tender and any liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the garlic and cook 1 minute more.

Add all but 2 tablespoons of the cheese to the pasta.

Add the reserved pasta water, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir until creamy.

Serve the pasta topped with the zucchini, lemon zest, and the remaining cheese.

***Tip: Fresh goat cheese is creamy and soft, which makes it ideal for incorporating into pasta dishes. Buy a log and crumble your own; the precrumbled bits sold in stores often don't melt as well, and they can be more expensive.

Count me in on the goat cheese and zucchini love. One of my favorite combinations and of course, I'm a pasta fiend. I can predict the future....Wednesday night, this is dinner.

I made this again - but this time, I sauteed sliced hot and sweet italian sausage, then when the pasta went in to cook, I added diced onions to the skillet and after 5 minutes added the zucchini. I also added pasta water to deglaze the pan - about 1-1/2 cups to also help cook the zucchini, then added cooked penne pasta to the deep skillet, then the cheeses: fresh parmesan and goat cheese and a little half and half. Was sinfully delicious - I was so impressed!

Have you thought of using dry white wine to deglaze your pan? Delicious! You have my 5. Have a very good night....Cheryl
