That Zucchini Spaghetti Stanley Tucci Loves! (Spaghetti alla Nerano)

If you think it sounds crazy for someone to call an ultra-simple, vegetable-sauced spaghetti, life changing, unbelievable, and one of the best things I ve ever eaten, then unlike Stanley Tucci and me, you ve never had Spaghetti alla Nerano. Wybu: Marcella Hazan has this recipe in her book and she was draining the water out of the zucchini with salt and then was using a flour coating before deep frying.
I was wondering - you might have the answer to my question- is it an artefact of cooking (like bitter eggplants) or is there a thought process behind her operation?

Show me someone who grows zucchini, and I'll show you someone who has WAY too much zucchini. LOL!
I love zucchini, but don't grow it, because I don't HAVE to. About this time of year, friends and colleagues are fairly desperate to share their bounty.
Colleagues leave bags of it on our desks. anonymously. These people are in serious competition with each other. None of them wants to run the risk of being directly confronted with a stark No More Zucchini! It's great, while it lasts.

I've been making this since the show - maybe, what? a couple of months (I live the UK so had to find the show after it aired. I pan fry the courgette (yes, that's what we call it here. I pan fry in a lot of sunflower. It's fine. Also I don't bother putting this in the fridge over night. It's fine too! Lots of butter. Half a stick. No provolone. Pecorino. Delicious.

Looks great. Very similar to a recipe I found for a creamy lemony zucchini pasta. The recipe has you grate zucchinis + shallot, squeeze out the moisture, fry it in a pan, and then combine with pasta + water + cream + parmesan. Lemon and mint are added at the end. Truly my favorite pasta of all time.

As someone whose family has grown zucchinis for years, I can confirm, we always have too much. We give it away to friends and family and neighbours and acquaintances, anyone who we know and crosses our path from field to home. Thanks for giving me a new idea to use all that zucchini on!

Funniest thing was watching Stanley Tucci in some Broadway play oh yeah it was Frankie and johnnie, trying to appear natural walking around stark naked. It was a love scene but he was so self conscious it became comedy

Ah yes, the oldest trick in the book to prevent outsiders from perfecting your recipe: tell them the wrong amount of butter.
But you can't trick Chef John. No, he only be disappointed.

I wonder if shallow frying the zucchini would work he did say he tried other methods but there's not much of a difference between shallow and deep frying, pls correct me if I'm wrong about that

Your on a roll, great recipe. I saw this cooked on the show and wanted to try it so badly, you made the steps very clear and easy. Great job and love the inside tip that only a chef would catch.

As luck would have it, a colleague gave me three zucchinis 2 days ago and I knew I had to use them up before they spoil. And now Chef John comes along with this recipe! Perfect timing!
