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.
