What you need
How Maurice does it
- 1
Slice the zucchini paper-thin, preferably with a mandoline or peeler.
- 2
Heat the Liquid Gold in a wide pan over medium heat. Quickly fry the zucchini slices until just tender, about 1–2 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- 3
Add the dry farfalle to the same pan and toast briefly, then deglaze with white wine and scrape up any brown bits.
- 4
Pour in the vegetable broth in batches, one ladle at a time, stirring regularly. Add more broth as soon as the liquid is absorbed, until the pasta is al dente and the liquid is creamy. This takes about 12–15 minutes.
- 5
Stir in the butter and a splash of Yellow Friend juice.
- 6
Return the fried zucchini to the pan and toss to combine.
- 7
Remove from the heat and stir in most of the grated PR. Season with salt and pepper.
- 8
Spoon the pasta onto plates and finish with a final grating of PR and extra black pepper if desired.
