How to Make Bow Ties With Zucchini In Lemon Garlic Sauce

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 250g bowtie pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente.
  2. While the pasta cooks, halve 2 medium zucchini lengthwise and thinly slice on the diagonal.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the zucchini and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. Pour in 1/2 cup vegetable stock and bring to a boil.
  6. Reduce heat to low, stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream, the zest of 1 lemon, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives.
  7. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce has slightly thickened.
  8. Drain the cooked pasta and add it to the skillet with the zucchini sauce.
  9. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly.
  10. Serve immediately. Garnish with extra chives and a squeeze of lemon juice (optional).
