Gather @fresh basil{8%leaf}.

Warm the @olive oil{3%tbsp} in a wide skillet over medium heat, add the @garlic{3%clove}, and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add the @zucchini{500%g} in a single layer and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and just tender, about 8 minutes. ~{8%minutes}

Meanwhile, boil the @spaghetti{360%g} in well-salted water until just shy of al dente, about 9 minutes, reserving a cup of pasta water. ~{9%minutes}

Stir the @lemon{1} zest into the zucchini, then add the drained spaghetti and a splash of pasta water, tossing over heat until glossy.

Off the heat, add the lemon juice and half the @parmesan{50%g}, tossing until it melts into a light sauce.

Tear over the basil, finish with the remaining parmesan, and serve immediately.
