Ingredients

3 cups zucchini
cut into 1/2-inch cubes, 2 medium ones
1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
1 x black pepper
freshly ground, to taste
*
2 tablespoons almonds
slivered
cup cream
1 strip basil
with leaves and stem
*
3 tablespoons goat (chevre) cheese
*
½ teaspoon lemon zest
finely grated
6 ounces spaghetti
whole wheat, or linguine

Directions

Preheat oven to 500 degrees.

Add the zucchini and oil with ½ teaspoon salt and pepper in a medium bowl, toss to coat.

Place zucchini on a baking sheet in a single layer.

Roast, tossing occasionally, until golden and tender, about 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, toast the almonds in a skillet over medium heat until golden, 3 to 4 minutes, alternatively you can use toaster oven under 350℉ (180℃) degree for about 20 minutes.

Transfer to a small bowl.

Simmer the cream and basil sprig in a small saucepan over medium heat until reduced to ¼ cup, 6 to 8 minutes.

Stir in the goat cheese and keep whisking until the sauce is smooth.

Remove from heat, stir in lemon zest and ¼ teaspoon salt.

Cover and keep warm.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Cook the pasta according to the package directions.

Drain well.

Toss the pasta with the cream sauce.

Serve topped with the roasted zucchini and almonds.
