1/2 stick unsalted butter
1/2 cup mushrooms, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 bottle white wine
1/2 lemon, zested and juiced
1/2 lemon, zested and juiced
2 summer squash
2 zucchini
Olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Red chile flakes
2 teaspoons grated Parmesan
Cherry tomatoes
1 bunch parsley, finely chopped

Steps:

Melt the butter in a large saute pan and add the mushrooms, garlic and shallots. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Add some wine (a quarter to half of the bottle), the lemon zest and juice. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes more. Reduce the heat to low to keep the sauce warm until ready to use.
Using a vegetable peeler, carefully peel the summer squash and zucchini until you reach the center, creating pasta-like vegetable noodles.
Heat some olive oil in a large pan set over medium heat. Saute the vegetable noodles 2 to 3 minutes. Add the warm sauce then add some chile flakes and season with salt and pepper. Add in the cheese and some tomatoes, and cook 1 to 2 minutes more. Finish with a few pinches of parsley.
