3 Tbsps

onion
4 servings

whole garlic clove
6

kosher salt
4 servings

courgettes
1.5 pounds

asparagus spears
1 bunch

cherry tomatoes
1.5 cups

smoked paprika
1 Tbsp

black pepper
1 tsp

red pepper powder
0.25 tsps

Method
- Preheat the oven to 375F. Break the capellini into approximately 3-inch lengths.
- Spread the pasta on a baking sheet, slide it into the oven, and toast, tossing occasionally with tongs, until golden brown, about 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large pot (at least 5 1/2 quarts) with a lid over medium heat.
- Add the onion, garlic, and a pinch of salt and cook, allowing them only to soften and grow aromatic but not brown, about 5 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the zucchini and another pinch of salt. Saut until the zucchini is well browned, about 5 more minutes.
- Place the noodles on top of the zucchini mixture.
- Layer the asparagus and 1 cup of the cherry tomatoes on top of that and sprinkle in the smoked paprika, black pepper, cayenne pepper, oregano, and rosemary.
- Pour the red wine and cup of water over the top. Toss as best you can with tongs; it will be hard at first because the noodles are stiff. Return the heat to medium and cover the pot.
- Every 3 minutes, remove the lid and toss the pasta. The total cooking time will be 8 to 12 minutes. Toward the end, taste a noodle each time you remove the lid to see if it is done. If not, and there isnt any moisture left on the bottom of the pot, add a bit more wine or water, about 1/3 cup.
- When the noodles are done to your liking, taste and make any final adjustments to the seasoning.
- Transfer to serving bowls.
- Garnish with the remaining 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, the parsley, and another grind of black pepper.
- Serve immediately.
