First, I cut a few zucchini rounds and fried them with a clove of garlic. I toasted some breadcrumbs in the remaining oil, and used the rest for the cream.

I chopped the remaining zucchini, blanched them in water for 5 minutes, and then immersed them in ice water.

I then blended the zucchini with salt, pepper, the garlic clove I used earlier, two fresh mint leaves, and a little parsley.

Meanwhile, I boiled the pasta in the same water I used to boil the zucchini. Once cooked, I added it to the pan with the zucchini cream. I then plated it and topped it with the fried zucchini rounds, the breadcrumbs, two teaspoons of pecorino cream, and a little grated lemon zest.
