This is a great summer main dish but can also be served on the side with grilled chicken or fish.
Ingredients
8 ounces dried pappardelle pasta
8 ounces zucchini, very finely sliced lengthwise*
1 lemon, both finely grated zest and freshly squeezed juice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 bunch chives, finely chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Grated parmesan cheese, if desired
