Make the zucchini

- Fry in batches if necessary until both sides are lightly browned and fork tender. Approx 5 minutes per side.
- As the zucchini is finished cooking remove them to a paper towel lined plate or bowl. Sprinkle very lightly with salt.
Make the pasta
- Fill a large pot with water. Once it boils add salt, then the pasta. Cook the pasta to package directions.
- Make or heat up the marinara sauce. Once pasta is cooked add it to the marinara sauce and mix until the sauce is covering all the pasta.
- Top the pasta with the fried zucchini, the sprinkle on the parmesan cheese if desired.
Notes
While long shaped pasta such as spaghetti, linguine, etc is recommended you can use short cut pasta if desired. You can top the entire pan of pasta with the zucchini or bring the zucchini table side and let each person select how much they want.
