Ingredient Notes

Zucchini: No matter how you cook it, I love zucchini for how versatile and delicious it is. Zucchini is super high in water and fibre and contains so many other good nutrients for your body. And as a bonus – zucchini also contains zero fat.

Lemons: Lemons freshen up any dish! Packed with vitamin C and fiber – there’s a reason lemon juice or lemon zest are used in so many recipes.

1. Add all of the ingredients to a large pot.
2. Transfer to the stovetop and place over medium-high heat.

4. Continue to cook for 20 – 25 minutes until pasta is tender, absorbs most of the liquid and flavors combine.
