Method

Step 1 of 3

Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add the onion and a pinch of salt, and cook over a low heat for 5 minutes or until soft and translucent. Add all the zucchinis, and cook for 10 minutes or until they have cooked down and softened. Don’t allow them to brown.

Step 2 of 3

Stir in the garlic and asparagus. Add the wine, raise the heat, and allow to boil for 2-3 minutes, then return to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the asparagus has softened, then stir in the capers and lemon zest.

Step 3 of 3

Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling salted water for 10 minutes or until it is cooked but still has a bit of bite to it. Drain, keeping back a tiny amount of the cooking water. Return the pasta to the pan and toss together. Add the zucchini mixture and parsley, then toss again. Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve.
