Instructions
- Bring a large pot of very salty water to a boil. Cook the bowtie pasta until al dente, according to the package directions. Before draining, reserve 1 cup of starchy pasta water.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the zucchini. Cook the zucchini for 2 minutes, then stir and cook for an additional 2 minutes. We want a hard sear on the zucchini so make sure not to stir it too much.
- Next add the garlic, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Stir and cook for an additional minute.
- Next add the butte??r, lemon juice, and ¼ cup of reserved pasta water. Stir until the butter has melted.
- Next add ¼ cup of parmesan cheese and stir it into the sauce. Add the pasta and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- If the sauce becomes too thin, add another splash of reserved pasta water.
- Serve the pasta with the remaining grated parmesan, fresh chopped parsley, and toasted pine nuts. Enjoy immediately.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
