Spaghetti with Zucchini

  1. Lo Scoglio in Positano, Italy is one of Katie Lee's favorite old restaurants.
  2. After a recent trip to the Almafi Coast, she came home with the best possible souvenir: a recipe for Lo Scoglio's famous zucchini pasta.
  3. "The owner said it wouldn't be the same because we don't have their zucchini in the States," says Katie, "but I think it's about 98 percent there!"
  4. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  5. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente, 9 to 11 minutes.
  6. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain the pasta.
  7. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  8. Add the garlic; when it begins to sizzle, add the zucchini and saute for a couple of minutes.
  9. Add 1/4 cup of the pasta water and cook until the zucchini is tender, about 5 minutes.
  10. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and half of the basil.
  11. Remove the garlic.
  12. Add the pasta to the skillet along with about 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water; shake the pan vigorously, adding a little more cooking water if the pasta looks dry.
  13. Cook, tossing, until the liquid is absorbed, 3 to 4 minutes.
  14. Remove from the heat and add the parmigiano, pecorino and the remaining basil; toss.
  15. Top with more Parmesan.
