Steps
1Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) Fan. Quarter zucchini lengthwise then dice them. Add to a baking tray lined with baking paper and arrange in a single layer.
2Bake in the middle of the oven for 10 minutes. Stir with a spatula and bake for another 10 minutes.
3In the meantime, fill a cooking pot (20 cm ~ 8 inch) with water ~ 2 lt. Bring to a boil. Add pasta to the pot and stir.
4Reduce heat to medium (induction #6) and boil the pasta, uncovered, for 12 minutes - or according to the time given in the packaging instructions. Taste the pasta to make sure it’s soft and cooked through. Drain and set aside.
