Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 3 Tablespoom extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 Cloves garlic
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Provolone cheese
  • 7 oz spaghetti
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Fresh basil

Instructions
 

  • Begin by washing and cutting off the ends of the zucchini. Then, slice a slice about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.
  • To cook the zucchini, you can either cook them in an air fryer ( spray some oil on top and air fry for 12 to 15 minutes) or fry them in oil.
  • To fry them, simply heat the oil in a large pan and cook the zucchini fine until golden brown on both sides, in a single layer.
  • Be careful not to burn the zucchini; they should be golden brown but not black. The oil should have a temperature of 450 F (150 C). After frying them, put the cooked zucchini on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
  • After cooking the zucchini, set them aside and lightly brown the garlic in a frying pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  • Add the zucchini when the garlic has browned (remember to set some aside to decorate the dish).
  • 6. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente (2-3 minutes less than the cooking time indicated in the package instructions).
  • Reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta water and drain the spaghetti.
  • Add the spaghetti to the pan with the zucchini and stir well to coat the pasta.
  • Add the grated Parmesan and Provolone cheese and mix thoroughly with the heat off. 
  • If the pasta seems dry, add a ladleful of pasta water.
  • Serve hot, adding some basil leaves on top, and enjoy!
