PASTA FREDDA ALLE ZUCCHINE in diretta con Giovanni!

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is often less expensive and has a neutral flavor.

Boil pasta in salted water until 3-4 minutes before the package cooking time; drain and cool under cold water.

Drizzle pasta with olive oil and mix to prevent sticking; let cool completely.

Slice zucchini into thin rounds using a mandoline or knife.

Marinate zucchini in olive oil, lime zest, and lime juice for about 1 hour in the refrigerator.

Combine cooled pasta, marinated zucchini, chopped celery, cherry tomatoes, and olives in a large bowl.

Add salt and pepper to taste; mix well to combine all ingredients.

Let the salad rest in the refrigerator overnight to allow flavors to meld.

Serve chilled or at room temperature.
