Milk Street 365 version of 'Pasta alla Nerano' features concentrated starch pasta, zucchini-garlic sauce, butter, pecorino, and basil.
From Italy's Amalfi Coast, "Pasta alla Nerano" is an elegant, light dish featuring long, thin pasta in a velvety zucchini sauce. This version from Milk Street 365 uses minimal water to cook pasta, concentrating the starch to create a creamy consistency without added cream. Zucchini and garlic are sautéed and blended with reserved pasta water, then combined with cooked pasta, butter, pecorino cheese, and basil for a creamy, lightly sauced texture. The dish is served drizzled with additional oil and sprinkled with extra cheese.
