Ingredients
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt, plus extra for cooking pasta

Directions
  1. In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the pappardelle according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain, turn out into a large bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  2. In a large skillet set over medium heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil along with the garlic, red pepper flakes and lemon zest. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomatoes and zucchini ribbons and cook until warm, about 1 minute. Add the cooked pasta, lemon juice, basil and remaining ½ teaspoon salt, and season with ground black pepper. Divide between 2 bowls, sprinkle with some Parmigiano-Reggiano and serve.
