Cooking Steps

Prep

  • Before starting, preheat the broiler to high.
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high (use same for 4 servings).

  • Halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch half-moons.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Rough chop parsley.
  • Zest lemon, then cut lemon into wedges.

  • To the boiling water, add penne. Cook for 12-14 min, until tender but still firm to the bite.
  • Reserve 1/2 cup (1 cup) pasta water.
  • Strain penne, then return to the pot, off heat.
