These creamy zucchini and mozzarella linguine are our go-to weekday comfort meal: our Jean Martin Zucchini with Mozzarella jar does all the work, all you have to do is cook the pasta and plate it.
Preparation
- In a pan, toast the pine nuts dry (without fat) for a few minutes until slightly golden. Set aside.
- In the same pan, sauté the pancetta for 3 minutes. Pour the JM Zucchini with Mozzarella into a saucepan and heat over low heat.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil, add salt, and cook the linguine as indicated on the package. Drain the linguine and mix with the zucchini and mozzarella.
- Plate the linguine, pancetta, mozzarella pearls, pine nuts, and a few basil leaves.
- Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and a little pepper (optional).
Our tip
Keep a little pasta cooking water before draining: it helps soften the sauce if it thickens too much as it cools. Always toast pine nuts dry while keeping a close eye on them, as they brown very quickly.
Variation
For a vegetarian version, omit the pancetta and add a few sun-dried tomatoes to add character instead.
Pairings & suggestions
An Italian white wine like Vermentino or a young Provence rosé pair very well with this gourmet dish.
