Banane ka Tarika

1. Pasta ubaalo

   Bade pot mein salted paani mein rigatoni al dente tak ubaalo. ½ cup pasta water side mein rakh lo, phir drain.

2. Zucchini bhuno

   Pan mein olive oil heat karo. Zucchini + pinch of salt daalo. Medium heat pe 6–8 min tak cook karo jab tak soft aur halka golden na ho jaye.

3. Garlic magic

   Ab garlic aur chilli flakes add karo. 30 sec tak bhuno — bas khushboo aani chahiye, jalna nahi.

4. Sauce banao

   Cream (ya ricotta) daalo, 2–3 min halka simmer. Agar sauce thick lage toh thoda pasta water add karo.

5. Mix everything

   Rigatoni + Parmesan cheese pan mein daal ke ache se toss karo. Salt–pepper adjust karo.

6. Final touch

   Gas band karke herbs aur lemon zest add karo. Upar se extra cheese — done 😍
