Method

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.

  2. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. Pour in the cream and bring to a gentle simmer.

  4. Add the grated parmesan cheese and stir until melted and combined, creating a smooth sauce.

  5. In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and then turn off the heat. Add the Qetoe Penne, cover and leave to soak for exactly 5 minutes, then drain.

  6. Add the cooked Qetoe Penne to the creamy sauce, followed by the zucchini ribbons. Toss everything together, ensuring the pasta is well coated in the sauce.

  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve warm, garnished with fresh basil leaves.

Chef's tip
