Spaghetti with Zucchini Ribbons and Shrimp

This springtime pasta dish is as pretty to look at, as it is to eat. Creating ribbons with the zucchini is easy and allows the vegetable to twirl nicely around your fork, just like the spaghetti!

Tips	Creamy pasta sauces tend to soak up into the noodles quickly. Reserve some of the pasta water before draining to help "loosen" up the sauce if not served immediately.
	Replace the shrimp with sliced, cooked chicken breast.

Step 3

Meanwhile, prepare spaghetti according to package directions for al denté.Add hot cooked pasta to skillet along with lemon juice, lemon zest and dill. Toss gently until spaghetti is coated in sauce and shrimp are pink. Divide between four serving bowls, arranging shrimp decoratively on top. Garnish with extra dill.
