Zucchini and Pasta Noodles with Garlicky Yogurt Sauce

 

507 - ZUCCHINI PASTA WITH YOGURT SAUCE 2 (1)

Serves 4

Hands-on-time: 15 minutes
Total prep time:  30 minutes

4 cups baby zucchini
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Pinch of saffron
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 1/2 cups labneh
8 cups zucchini spiral noodles
4 cups cooked angel hair pasta
1/4 cup minced cilantro
1/4 cup minced mint
2 tablespoon lemon juice
zest of 1 lemon
1 cup squash blossoms sliced thinly (only if they came with the baby zucchini)
Salt to taste

Cut the baby zucchini into rounds and toss with 1/4 cup of the olive oil. Grill over high heat until the zucchini has developed char marks, about 3-4 minutes.  Let the charred zucchini cool.

In a pan over medium heat add the rest of the olive oil, saffron and the garlic. Once the garlic becomes fragrant (about 1 minute) turn the heat to low and add the yogurt and 1 cup of water. Stir slowly, incorporating everything together.

Toss the sauce with the zucchini noodles, the angel hair pasta, and the cilantro and mint.

Adjust seasonings and then divide between 4 bowls.  Sprinkle each bowl with a little lemon juice, the zest, and the squash blossom ribbons.

NOTE: Spiralizers can be found online and in kitchen supply stores.

    Was just watching this recipe, and came here to see what type of yogurt recommended after hearing her say that greek yogurt wasn’t optimal. Unfortunately I don’t see yogurt in the list of ingredients. So I wanted to let you know. Thanks!

      Anna,
      We should have clarified that – the recipe calls for Labneh which is strained regular yogurt. You put the yogurt in a strainer lined either with cheesecloth or paper towel and let it drain for several hours. A lot of the liquid drains out and it becomes very dense.

      Susan,
      Amanda used labneh with is a kind of middle eastern yogurt that is very thick. Greek yogurt would be a good substitute if you can’t find labneh.
