All you need to make this pasta dish is:

short cut pasta
Parmesan cheese
and 30 minutes time
I made this for lunch last Saturday. It’s a perfect Summer meal idea, it’s light, healthy and tasty and can be served either cold or warm.
Here is how you make it!
Ingredients (serves 3):
- 1 big zucchini
- 1/4 onion
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 100 g mozzarella cheese
- 200 g short cut pasta
- 1 tsp salt
Start by cutting up the zucchini
then chop up some onion
In a skillet heat up some oil and cook the onion until it gets a golden brown color
next add in the zucchini and 1 tsp of salt. Cover with a lid and let cook on low for about 10 min
Meanwhile grab some fresh mint…wash it, pls
add about half of it to the zucchini and keep cooking for other 10 min or until the veggies are cooked
Cook some short cut pasta according to package instructions
then add the past to the zucchini,
add some 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, stir around so all the ingredients get all together
Grab some mozzarella cheese and chop it up
add it to the pasta, and stir around so it melts
Serve on a plate, sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese and decorate with a few more mint leaves
Then serve!
