8 ounces whole wheat fettuccine
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1⁄2 teaspoon chile flakes
2 small zucchini, small dice
1 lemon, zested
1⁄2 cup fat-free Greek yogurt, plain
1⁄2 cup grated Romano or Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional – fresh basil, thinly sliced
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add fettuccine, cook to desired consistency.
While pasta is cooking, heat oil in a separate pan over medium heat. Sauté garlic and chile flakes for about 30 seconds to a minute.
Add zucchini to the pan, stirring occasionally for about 5-7 minutes, cooking off some of the water and the zucchini is tender. Add lemon zest.
Once fettuccine is cooked, drain and add directly to the pan with Greek yogurt and grated cheese. Toss around in the pan and season with salt and pepper as needed.
Top with grated cheese and basil (optional), serve immediately.
