This is a very simple but tasty recipe I swiped from my former Italian flatmate, who inherited it from his mother.
Ingredients:
1-2 onions chopped into thin slices
around 6 zucchinis chopped into thin slices
olive oil
dried thyme
salt and pepper
Parmesan cheese
pasta
Saute the onions for a few minutes in a generous amount of olive oil on medium heat, and then add all the chopped zucchinis. You'll need a big pan, but the zucchini will shrink, so don't be alarmed. Add salt, pepper, and lots of dried thyme, and cook for a long time, stirring occasionally. You want to cook it until the zucchini are falling apart and all mushy (not just sauteed) -- this will take at least 30 minutes. It gets a lot tastier once the zucchini are falling apart, so be patient!
Serve with pasta. Top with lots of parmesan and more olive oil if you're feeling Italian.

I make this all the time with eggplant. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
ReplyDeleteOooh, I love eggplant. Will have to try it instead of zucchini.
DeleteI think Laura served this to me when I visited her in France. It was delicious.
ReplyDeleteGoing to attempt to make this tonight. If you don't hear from me after tonight you can assume the apartment burned down
ReplyDeleteMade this tonight. It turned out very well. Thanks for the recipe Laura.
ReplyDeleteGreat! I'm glad you didn't burn down your apartment. I think I made you another pasta dish with roasted veggies and a little balsamic vinegar when you and Annie visited... but maybe I made this too. I love pasta.
