1 sachet (0,25gr.) Saffron

6 slices Formaela cheese round, 1cm thick. about

2 tsp. tablespoons olive oil

2 tsp. tablespoons fresh butter

Preparation method

Step 1

Rub the zucchini in thick side of the grater and pick up the crumbs in a bowl.

Step 2

In a large saucepan pour plenty of water add salt and saffron. Once it starts to boil add the spaghetti and cook for 7-9 minutes.

Step 3

In a large skillet add the olive oil and fresh butter. Once hot add the crumbs from the zucchini. Sauté until they begin to smell pleasant and season to taste.

Step 4

Drain the spaghetti (which will get a nice yellow color from the saffron) and mix well with buttered pumpkin.
