This was one of the best tasting recipes I have tried. Belissima

[@ilohmeyer]

I’ve made something similar for years. Instead I use shallots and I actually let the zucchini cook down for 30 minutes to create almost a chutney. Then I add the pasta and pasta water which makes a super yummy dairy free sauce.

[@rottenfreddy3759]

Sounds like a better recipe.

[@archanamulay8217]

Won't zucchini be overcooked when it cooks with pasta for 15 mins?

[@laurao3274]

​@@archanamulay8217 Zucchini has a lot of water. It takes forever for it to cook down.

Thanks for your recipes

[@paulinavu4778]

Thank you- I made this and it was SO good!! I left out the pine nuts

[@ashwario]

This was delicious! I made this with a mix of chicken and veggie stock and skipped out on the Greek yoghurt. Took a bit longer to cook the pasta but was so worth it!!! Definitely going to make this again

[@SpiceBear]

This was awesome. Make 2/3 batch, used pre-cooked pasta, chicken broth, & almond slivers bc that's what I had. Definitely a recipe worth saving. The lemon zest goes great on top

[@qualqui]

Zucchini Pasta looking SCRUMPTIOUS! :D

[@lisaswrld]

This was good! I used small shells, and maybe that’s where I went wrong. It took about 30 mins and 4c of broth to get the pasta cooked.

[@nickcasenta5651]

[@tarac.4380]

[@FriedlyLisek]

It was super good even without cheese :> Greek yogurt made it smooth and tasty, thank you for the recipe!

[@yulyakaiser9665]

[@TheMrsarahanne90]

[@MatthiasHamilton]

I ACTUALLY MADE THIS IT WAS DELICIOUS.. TRY ADDING CHICKEN OR SHRIMP

[@anotheryoutuberperson38]

[@swarnalath]

Super 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@thelmasalcedo437]

Awesome .. you explained it fantastic🎉😊

[@MilaNekolita]

Omg thanks a lot for the recipe! It was absolutely amazing❤ I changed the type of yogurt tho. since I'm Turkish, I can't even imagine using an alternative version of our yogurt such as Greek yogurt etc there are already tons of varieties here lol. For example, I made it with Turkish buffalo yoghurt to give it an extra creamy texture. It's the thickest one in the world😹, I use it as an alternative to things like heavy cream. It is even thicker than Turkish sheep and cow yogurts. Oh and I wasn't too sure about lemon zest either, I've never tried it for pasta before. But I wanted to give it a try and it was soo delicious! can't even understand how a tinyyy touch balances the whole aroma that much. It was the best pasta I've had in a while ^^

[@anotheryoutuberperson38]

I'm half Turkish and allergic to dairy :(

[@MilaNekolita]

@@anotheryoutuberperson38 that must be the worst combination ever 😭

[@anotheryoutuberperson38]

@@MilaNekolita Yes, however I can work around it and still enjoy food

[@MilaNekolita]

@@anotheryoutuberperson38 Sure u can! there are *so* many recipes without yogurt and tons of plant-based alternatives too. I mentioned that just cause Turkish people use it *ALL THE TIME* lol. Like, besides dishes that u eat with yogurt, there r even soups made from yogurt.. and a million kinds of pastries, like Börek etc and even tons of cakes that *must* have yogurt in them in Turkish cuisine. Like whenever we roast a whole turkey or chicken, we even put yogurt in that sauce for making it crispy too... There's even a Turkish drink made from yogurt called ayran, and there are *so* many varieties of it, and it goes with a lot of meals. So, yeah, I was kinda just joking cause it's ironic u know 😹 but obviously, you can totally find tons of recipes without yogurt! I’ve also noticed in a lot of East Asian dishes, they barely use yogurt or milk, probably cause of lactose intolerance Idk, and the recipes are amazing! And for stuff that does need yogurt, you can try alternatives like almond yogurt🐱🤌🏻Oh, btw, is your allergy only to cow’s yogurt? If so, Turkish people make yogurt from all sorts of milk. Like, my body reacts to cow’s milk as well, in a bad way, but not to buffalo milk. And since I'm half Circassian, we use it in tons of recipes too. So I eat buffalo and also goat yogurt with no problem at all! You can try those ones instead if it's only cows milk.

[@anotheryoutuberperson38]

@MilaNekolita I can not find yogurt from other animals in my area, but I tried goats' milk yogurt years ago and reacted as well. Whenever I need the taste of yogurt, I get unsweetened coconut yogurt. It works as a substitute for a börek, tavuk kebap, cılbır etc. Yes, it is ironic that my mother raised goats when she was a yörük. Yet here I am, where I can not even eat butter.

[@robertfirek8994]

Update: Found recipe in the description! This looks good. Is there a written recipe for this dish somewhere? Wondering how much zucchini and how much pasta. Thanks in advance for any help😊

[@rashnan5574]

Awesome... simply loved it.

[@christinaalameda6206]

Delicious 🎉😊

[@skinisonfire]

added two zucchinis instead of one because i had an apparently false memory that two average sized zucchinis is what makes about 750 grams. didn't have oregano or thyme but did have some old italian seasoning that was stuck to the bottom of its mill, added some water to get it out. didn't have vegetable broth, one beef bouillon cube plus water it was. didn't have yoghurt , added some sour cream instead. didn't have cheese, added a maggi carbonara mix instead (it's supposed to go into 10% cream, so figured my 15% sour cream + the pasta water would work fine) plus some balsamic vinegar. still worked out okay. tomorrow i might add some dill (since I don't have basil) and lemon zest (i do have a lemon). no pine nuts though. thanks for the recipe.

[@anotheryoutuberperson38]

I weighed two zucchini and got 361g. You need 4 to match the video.

I ain't no vegan but this will be fire! Lol

[@nerminaredzic2531]

Great

[@rneustel388]

Do you have to squeeze the liquid out of the zucchini like you do in most recipes where you use grated zucchini? Thanks for sharing this recipe!!

[@anotheryoutuberperson38]

I didn't squeeze and it came out great

[@rneustel388]

Thank you so much!

[@somushanker9859]

Any alternative for veg broth

[@wjfantastic3271]

Super

[@Teebee44]

No pine nuts but everything else is a gooooo ❤️

[@anotheryoutuberperson38]

If you have a tree nut allergy, pumpkin seeds are a great substitute

[@feluxjohn3236]

Yummy

[@nikkilaljamwal7222]

U r sweet high skills cuisine

[@ashwinbhartia4d]

Any advice on what to use if I don't have or don't have the time to make veggie broth

[@anotheryoutuberperson38]

I made it, and so delicious! The only difference is that I used chicken bouillon and water, and half the zucchini. Yes, you can get away with 380g of zucchini in this recipe.

[@debrahowe313]

Oh my.....looks absolutely delicious

[@imkefeldkamp-ji8ug]

Bravo ❤👍👏

[@suzellebailey1896]

I i like your dishes what can i cook for cholesterol

[@matthewrolfe23]

you should write the recipe on here because some are confused on the pasta should it be dry or wet pasta

[@anotheryoutuberperson38]

He did. It's in the description

[@Compactlover1234]

Ich habe es ausprobiert. War lecker. Habe die Zitrone vergessen, ich glaube das war der Frische Kick 😂

[@jorders2023]

May the yogurt make clumping after adding to high heat ?

[@anotheryoutuberperson38]

Use coconut yogurt. No clumping

[@ra.h.8840]

Yum 😋

[@AnaMaria-gc3um]

👏👏👏👏

[@fim4160]

Hi can i cook this with gluten free pasta the same way or would i have to boil the pasta first

[@anotheryoutuberperson38]

I used GF Barilla spaghetti on 12 minutes and it came out great.

[@anotheryoutuberperson38]

I can't edit, so I will add that I followed the recipe as is. The idea is to use the starch to thicken the sauce as it cooks

[@oanagrigorie6631]

Would this work with rice instead of pasta?

[@fim4160]

Oh like a risotto most likely

[@chandlernathan3816]

easy right ?????

[@candyvanpelt3011]

How much veg broth

[@anotheryoutuberperson38]

4 cups. The recipe is in the description

[@bohditony]

😋❤️

[@zeenatmalik4419]

Did you use raw pasta?

[@anotheryoutuberperson38]

Yes

[@samranibrahim6211]

🎉

[@lizglezv]

I'm going to try it, looks really yummy. However this is not zuchini pasta, it's pasta with zuchini 😅

[@cirta6972]

Can I omit the vegetable broth ? and replace the yoghurt with cooking cream?

[@IrieAllDay88]

I reckon the pasta has to cook in some form of liquid it being a one-pot pasta dish.

[@anotheryoutuberperson38]

You can use water and bouillon if you don't have vegetable stock

[@mayrasanchez9008]

Delicioso 🤤

[@gohawks3571]

Dangit, I thought it was pasta made with zucchini, like zoodles
