Total Time: 20 minutes

Yield: Serves 4

1 tablespoon butter

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 medium zucchini, sliced

2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper

1 (12-ounce) package medium pasta shells

3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and zucchini and cook until crisp-tender, about 5–6 minutes. Add rosemary and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2–3 minutes to blend flavors. Remove from heat.
