Ingredients

Tagliatelle pasta

1 Zucchini

1 Bunch of asparagus

1 Onion

2 Cloves of garlic

Basil

1 Glass of white wine

Olive oil

Salt

Pepper

Mozzarella cheese

Chop the onion and garlic. Cut the asparagus into length of about 2-3cm. Shave zucchini slices with a cheese slicer and cut the long slices in half so that they resemble tagliatelle.

Heat olive oil in a pan and start by frying the onion and garlic. Add the zucchini and asparagus to the pan and stir at moderate heat. When the zucchini is starting to get translucent add a glass of white wine and let it evaporate.

Boil the pasta to an al dente state. Season the sauce with fresh basil leaves, salt and pepper and mix it with the pasta. For serving sprinkle grated mozzarella on top.
