METHOD

1. Heat oil in a big heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
2. Salt and pepper the zucchini.
3. Stir the zucchini regularly until it expels moisture, cooks off, and caramelizes into a jam-like, spreadable consistency, about 10 to 20 minutes.
4. Reduce the heat if your pot starts browning.
5. Cook pasta according to package directions.
6. When the pasta is almost cooked, add in the pasta water into the zucchini.
7. Stir and cook for another couple minutes.
8. Toss the pasta into the sauce.
9. Serve with parmesan and basil leaves.
