Broken Lasagna With Zucchini-Tomato Sauce
- Kosher salt
- 2 large zucchini (about 1 3/4 pounds), coarsely grated
- 12 ounces lasagna noodles (not no-boil), broken into bite-size pieces
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes (1 cup whole, 1 cup halved)
- 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
- 1 small bunch chives, cut into 1-inch pieces
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Meanwhile, toss the zucchini with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a colander set over a large bowl.
- Let stand 10 minutes, then gently squeeze out the excess moisture.
- Add the pasta to the boiling water and stir vigorously to prevent it from sticking.
- Cook until al dente, about 12 minutes.
- Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water, then drain the pasta.
- Meanwhile, heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the cherry tomatoes and cook until blistered and slightly softened, about 4 minutes.
- Stir in the zucchini and lemon zest and cook, lightly crushing the tomatoes with a wooden spoon, until the zucchini is crisp-tender, about 4 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the zucchini-tomato mixture to a large bowl.
- Add the pasta and cheese and toss.
- Stir in half of the chives and about 1/4 cup of the reserved cooking water, adding more to loosen, if needed.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide among bowls and top with more cheese and the remaining chives.
