Step 1:
How to make pasta with zucchini? Prepare the ingredients. Zucchini should preferably be used young, with a thin skin and small seeds. I took spaghetti from the pasta, but any other kind will do. Garlic can be taken dry or fresh.
Step 2:
Wash the zucchini, dry it. If the zucchini are young, with tender skin and small seeds, then it is not necessary to remove them. Rinse well enough. But it is better to peel overripe zucchini from the peel and seeds. Cut the zucchini into small slices.
Step 3:
Heat vegetable and butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Their mixture will not burn, as if you used only butter, since the gorenje temperature of vegetable oil is higher.
Step 4:
Add zucchini. Fry them, stirring, over high heat for about 5 minutes until golden brown.
Step 5:
Sprinkle the zucchini with dry garlic, salt and pepper. Mix it up.
Step 6:
While the zucchini is cooking, boil the pasta in plenty of salted water until al dente. This is when it remains a little hard, not boiled. Be guided by the time indicated on the package. Put the finished pasta in a colander and let the water drain.
Step 7:
Add the pasta to the zucchini pan and stir. Heat everything together for 2 minutes and remove from heat.
Step 8:
Arrange the pasta on plates. If desired, sprinkle with grated cheese. Parmesan is best for this, but you can also use ordinary hard cheese. Serve immediately. Bon appetit!

Nowadays, fresh vegetables are available all year round. Now in the cities it is not a problem at all to buy young zucchini in the middle of winter. And in summer and early autumn, if you have your own zucchini from the garden or very cheap store-bought vegetables, the dish will generally cost a penny.
Cooking pasta with zucchini is a pleasure. Special culinary skills are not required here, so any hostess can cope with such a dish. The main thing is to keep an eye on the zucchini so that they do not burn, but at the same time they are covered with a golden crust. Fresh crispy vegetables, fragrant herbs and spices will fill the kitchen with a delicious smell even before the pasta is laid out on plates.
The dish is suitable for fasting, if you exclude butter.
