step-by-step
instructions
1
Prepare the ingredients:
Heat a medium pot of salted water to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Halve the zucchini lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Peel and roughly chop the garlic. Pick the oregano leaves off the stems; discard the stems. Quarter the tomatoes; place in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
2
Start the zucchini:
In a medium pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced zucchini; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned.
3
Cook the pasta:
While the zucchini cooks, add the pasta to the pot of boiling water and cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until al dente (still slightly firm to the bite). Turn off the heat. Reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, drain thoroughly and return to the pot.
4
Finish the zucchini & make the sauce:
To the pan of zucchini, add the chopped garlic, peppers, capers, oregano leaves, tomato paste, and as much of the red pepper flakes as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until thoroughly combined. Add 1/4 cup of water (carefully, as the liquid may splatter); season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until slightly thickened. Turn off the heat.
5
Finish & serve your dish:
To the pot of cooked pasta, add the finished zucchini and sauce, seasoned tomatoes, mascarpone cheese, and half the reserved pasta cooking water. Cook on medium-high, stirring vigorously, 1 to 2 minutes, or until coated. If the pasta seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water to achieve your desired consistency. Turn off the heat. Serve the finished pasta garnished with the pecorino cheese. Enjoy!
