Zucchini & Pea Tagliatelle with Oleajoy Olive Oil

🍝 Ingredients:

  • 250g tagliatelle pasta
  • 1 zucchini, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup green peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons Oleajoy Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: grated Parmesan cheese or vegan alternative

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

  1. Cook the pasta:
    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the tagliatelle according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. Sauté vegetables:
    In a large skillet, heat Oleajoy Olive Oil over medium heat.
    Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add zucchini & peas:
    Add the sliced zucchini and peas. Cook for 5–7 minutes until tender, but still bright green. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Combine with pasta:
    Add the drained pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together, adding a splash of the reserved pasta water if needed for moisture.
  5. Finish & serve:
    Tear fresh basil leaves into the dish, drizzle with more Oleajoy Olive Oil, and toss lightly.
    Serve warm, topped with Parmesan if desired.

🌿 Pro Tip:

For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of chili flakes before serving.
