| heavenly zucchini pasta |

I saw this article on NPR a few weeks ago about the "glorious pasta of summer." I thought the recipes looked super tasty, so I decided to try the zucchini and basil one first. HOLY SMOKES. This is amazing. The zucchini flavor is so sweet and delicate and the texture is amazing. The sauce ended up tasting like the best alfredo I've had in a restaurant (and I didn't even use the heavy cream, just whole milk).

For once, I didn't mess around with the recipe and it was totally worth it. So good just as written.

We didn't use the pancetta, obviously, but if you're into that kind of thing I'm sure it would be delicious with that, too.
