🍝 spaghetti with zucchini


Hi Reader,

Got zucchini? This simple pasta is the perfect way to use it.

With just a few ingredients, you can have a fresh, flavorful dinner on the table in about 20 minutes.

Thinly sliced zucchini is sauteed until tender, then tossed with spaghetti and a splash of pasta water for a silky finish. It’s light, satisfying, and naturally vegan.

And it's super versatile. Several readers have shared how they made this recipe their own in the comments.

Love and Veggies,

Amy
