Ingredients

  • 3 medium zucchinis (courgettes)
  • 7 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 small onion
  • 10.5 ounces pasta (I used fusilli)
  • Grated parmesan
Instructions

Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, grate the courgette using a box grater.
In a large skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and grated courgette. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the courgette is softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the cream cheese to the skillet and stir until it melts and coats the courgette mixture evenly.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the creamy courgette mixture. Toss well until the pasta is coated evenly with the sauce.
Serve hot, garnished with freshly ground black pepper and grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
