Preparation
Mise en place
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
- Halve the zucchini lengthwise; slice crosswise.
- In a small bowl, combine the panko, 2 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions) and S&P.
Sauté the vegetables & make the sauce
- In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- Add the zucchini and sauté, 2 to 3 min., until beginning to soften and brown; season with the spices and S&P.
- Add the spinach and sauté, 1 to 2 min., until wilted.
- Add the demi-glace, cream and ½ cup water (double for 4 portions). Cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 min., until slightly thickened.
- Add the cheese; stir well.
Boil the pasta
- Meanwhile, add the pasta to the pot of boiling water; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, stirring occasionally, 4 to 6 min., until al dente.
- Reserving ¼ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Combine & bake the pasta
- To the pan, add the pasta; toss well.
- If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the reserved cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
- Transfer to a medium baking dish and top with the panko mixture.
- Transfer to the oven and bake, 3 to 4 min., until golden brown.
- Switch the oven to broil, 1 to 2 min., if extra colour is desired.
- Let rest for at least 2 min. before serving.
Plate your dish
- Divide the pasta between your plates. Bon appétit!
