Must-Make Lemony Zucchini Pasta

I know a lot of people think of pasta as something you eat in warmer months but I am personally a huge advocate for pasta in every season. And there are ways to lighten it up so it’s not a thick heavy ragu sauce. My favorite move is to add vegetables like zucchini and summer squash to pasta. This makes it healthy-ish!

The easiest way to make a sauce come together is scooping out a bit of pasta water before you drain the pasta. This can thin out any pesto, marinara, or in this case, crème fraîche and lemon. It’s a super tart, simple sauce that feels light and refreshing on these last days of summer.
