Summer Lemon Herb Zucchini Penne Alfredo

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all having a nice summer!

I am not sure it is normal to get this excited over ingredients.

But I do, especially in the summer.

What is not to love about collecting

colorful, fragrant  & pretty

goodies from the garden.

These are just a few of my favorites to

collect & of course cook with:).

I thought I would share one of the "best" summer time

recipes, according to my 7yr old.

And an added bonus, it's healthy!

Summer Lemon Herb Zucchini Penne Alfredo

4tbs olive oil

2 lemons squeezed

1tsp lemon zest

3-4 pressed & chopped garlic cloves

2-3 medium chopped zucchini

1 tbs rosemary chopped

salt & pepper to taste

1 cup of grated parmesan

16 oz chicken or vegetable broth

5 chopped or shredded basil leaves

1tbs grated or shredded fresh parmesan

In large pan add olive oil, garlic & zucchini.

Cook on low for about 10 minutes

then add lemon juice, lemon zest

& rosemary.

Keep on low-med for another 5 minutes.

Add broth, parmesan, salt & pepper

and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low, keep stirring.

Boil & strain your penne.

Pour  alfredo over penne

fresh chopped basil. 

Enjoy!

Happy Thursday,

Jen
