Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a saute pan over medium heat, warm the garlic in the olive oil until the garlic is golden, and then remove garlic and discard. Add the chili and onion and cook until soft. Add the prosciutto and the zucchini, partly cover the pan and cook until barely soft, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, stir, cover the pan and remove from heat.

  2. Step 2

    Boil the penne in plenty of well-salted water until tender, and drain. While the pasta is cooking, add the butter, parsley, basil, salt and pepper to the zucchini sauce and stir well. Place the sauce in a large pasta bowl. Add the penne and toss. Add the pecorino cheese and additional salt and pepper to taste and serve.
