Spaghetti with zucchini, walnuts, and raisins

Spaghetti with zucchini, walnuts, and raisins

(Serves 4-hands-on time:15 minutes, total time: 20 minutes)

12 ounces spaghetti (3/4 box)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup walnut halves, roughly chopped
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1-1/2 pounds small zucchini (4-5)
cut into thin half-moons
3/4 cup raisins
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan (1ounce)
Cook the pasta according to the package directions; drain and return it to the pot.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the walnuts and cook, stirring frequently, until beginning to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until beginning to brown, about 1 minute.
Add the qucchini and raisins to the skillet, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, tossing occasionally, until the zucchini is just tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
Add the zucchini mixture to the pasta and toss to combine. Sprinkle with the Parmesan before serving.
