Creamy Zuchinni Pasta


I made this recipe for dinner a couple night ago and last year, it is so good. I got it from allrecipies.com I love it because I can use up a lot of my zucchini's from the garden. I also added a yellow squash and it was yummy!

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup olive oil(or butter)
2 large zucchini, diced
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 (12 ounce) package linguine pasta
1 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS

1. Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add zucchini and garlic to hot oil, and season with salt and red pepper flakes. Cook, turning occasionally, until zucchini are well browned on all sides, about 20 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of generously salted water to boil. Add pasta, and cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, and set aside.
3. Stir milk into zucchini, and simmer until it is reduced by about half, about 10 minutes. Add pasta to skillet, and stir well. Sprinkle parsley and 1/4 cup Parmesan over the top, and toss. Garnish with remaining Parmesan to serve.
