Creamy Lemon Zucchini Pasta

With the help of the large holes on a box grater, zucchini transforms into a pile of soft shreds. Cook it down with olive oil, onion, and garlic and it becomes a creamy, caramelized mush that’s great to spread on toast (like in the recipe this one was inspired by, Jennie Cook’s Zucchini Butter), stir into scrambled eggs, or turn into pasta sauce with the assistance of cream and lemon juice. You’ll be amazed by how many zucchini cook down into this one dish—a very good thing when you’re staring down a pile of this prolific summer star.
