1 large zucchini

8 oz pappardelle pasta

2 tbsp olive oil

1 small shallot

4 cloves of garlic

½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes

Zest of one lemon

Juice of one lemon

Directions:

1. Use the Full Circle Straight Blade Vegetable Peeler to shave the zucchini into wide ribbons. Place zucchini ribbons in a strainer and set aside.
2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season generously with salt. Cook pasta according to package instructions, reserving ½ cup of pasta water before serving.
3. Drain pasta by pouring into the strainer directly over top of the zucchini ribbons.
4. In a large sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Thinly slice the garlic and shallot and add them to the oil. Sauté for about 2 minutes, until fragrant and beginning to soften.
5. Add the red pepper flakes, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt and bring to a simmer.
6. Add the pasta and zucchini ribbons to the sauté pan and toss to coat, adding a splash or two of the reserved pasta water to loosen if needed.
7. Serve topped with shaved parmesan cheese if desired.
