    Categories: Squash, Cheese, Vegetables, Herbs, Nuts
    Yield: 4 servings

    2 3/4 c Vegetable stock
    12 oz Medium pasta shells
    2 md Zucchini; trimmed. in 1/2"
    - cubes
    4 oz Mascarpone, creme fraiche or
    - softened cream cheese
    1 lg Garlic clove; fine chopped

    In a large, deep 12" skillet, bring stock to a boil over
    high heat. Once stock boils, stir in pasta, zucchini,
    mascarpone, garlic and half the basil; season generously
    with salt and pepper and reduce the heat to medium-high.
    Cook, stirring frequently, until pasta is tender and
    liquid is reduced until thickened and creamy, 12 to 13

    parsley with remaining basil until finely chopped and
    combined; season with salt and pepper.

    Divide pasta among shallow bowls. Sprinkle with
    gremolata and serve immediately.
