Observations:

How to store these pastas?
You can store them in the refrigerator for 2 days in an airtight container.
Before serving, you can add a little cream to thin the sauce.

What is the best size of pasta to use?
We advise you to use short pasta such as rigatoni, paccheri, penne, tortiglioni, fusilli or farfalle.

How to cut zucchini for pasta?
We preferred to leave them in cubes to preserve the crunchy side of this vegetable! But if you wish, you can grate them, or cut them into brunoises for more fondant.

What can I use instead of cream cheese?
You can replace it with goat cream cheese or cream!

Can I eat creamy pasta cold?
Absolutely ! You can make a classic pasta salad, so you will need to drain the pasta and run it under cold water to stop the cooking. Then, dress them with the creamy zucchini and cream cheese sauce and keep the salad in the fridge until ready to serve!
