Pasta with Fried Zucchini

March 16, 2016 By Manu 8 Comments

Pasta with Fried Zucchini

I know I don’t even enough pasta recipes on the blog… and that’s such a pity! So, I decided to fix it and I am planning a little series about quick, simple and affordable pasta recipes. Who says that you need to go out of budget to have “real, healthy food”? Pasta usually makes everyone happy: the kids (and adults!) love it and you can have a delicious dinner ready in 20 minutes, any day. As the kids love it, it is also a great way to get them to eat vegetables. Today I will start this series with one of my favourite pasta recipes: Pasta with Fried Zucchini. It is really easy to make and it only requires a few ingredients, yet it tastes delicious. Serve it with a generous amount of finely grated Parmigiano Reggiano, which will make it creamy and add a delicious cheesey touch to it. Buon appetito!

    I love it! Theres nothing better than simple pasta with a few ingredients. Its simple, fast, full of flavour, so humble and so lovely <3
    Growing up in a poor neighbourhood (in Norway) i had an italian friend as closest neighbor. The best memories was when we was outside playing all day and i was invited to his place for a quik meal. Something simple as Spaghetti Aglio or Pasta with home made tomato sauce and some grated cheese over made me completely fall in love with italian food <3
    It was just a very warm atmosphere at their home and i always felt like i was a part of their family, they always made me feel like that.

    I found your blog today and Manu and love it! Keep up the good work! Ty so much for this simple recipe <3
    Much Love!
