2 medium zucchini
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
8 ounces penne pasta
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Shred zucchini on the large holes of a box grater. (You should have about 4 cups.) Toss with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a colander set over a bowl. Let stand 10 minutes.
