Zucchini and Carrot Ribbon Pasta
- 7 ounces, weight Fettuccine
- 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil, Divided
- 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
- 1/4 cups Ricotta Cheese
- 1/4 teaspoons Salt
- 1/4 teaspoons Freshly Ground Pepper
- 3 whole Carrots, Peeled In Long Ribbons
- 2 whole Zucchini, Peeled In Long Ribbons
- Grated Parmesan Cheese To Serve
- Boil water and cook the pasta.
- Mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small bowl and let it sit while you cook the rest of the meal.
- Mix the ricotta cheese with salt and pepper in a separate bowl and set aside.
- Briefly saute peeled carrot and zucchini with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, just until the vegetables soften a little bit.
- Put the cooked vegetables in a large bowl.
- Drain the pasta and add it to the vegetables.
- Pour the lemon-olive oil over the pasta and vegetables; stir gently.
- Add the ricotta cheese and stir again.
- Serve the pasta topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
- This makes probably 3 servings or even 4 small servings, but I feed a very hungry man.
