Ingredients
- 6 ounces dried tagliatelle, boil and cook according to the instructions

- 1 medium zucchini approximately
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves of garlic crushed, approximately 1 tablespoon of garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon dried red chili pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt or according to taste

Instructions
- Heat the oil in a skillet and fry the crushed garlic until fragrant.
- Add the mushrooms and stir-fry until the mushrooms slightly soften.
- Add the zucchinis and continue cooking for a few minutes.
- Stir in the chili flakes, then add the cooked pasta to the vegetables. Continue stirring and cooking until all the pasta is covered with the oil and spices.
- Season it with salt according to taste, and you may add more olive oil if you find the pasta is a bit dry.
- Add the chopped parsley.
- Generously sprinkle the grated cheese over the pasta, and mix well.
Notes
- I used dried tagliatelle. You can use fettuccine or even spaghetti.
- Here I used vegetarian hard cheese for religious reasons. However, you can substitute it with Parmesan, Grana Padano, or Pecorino cheese.
- You can always add more or fewer red pepper flakes to taste.
