Likewise, the addition of oat flour acts as a healthy thickener that interacts with the cream during the specific thickening function.

Questions that people really ask (FAQ)

Can I use another variety of pasta for this sauce?

Of course. Tagliatelle, rigatoni or penne combine exceptionally thanks to the grooves that retain the zucchini cream.

Why is it necessary to reserve the cooking water?

Because it contains the dissolved starch from spaghetti. This acts as a natural emulsifier, binding the oils to the cream perfectly.

Can you freeze leftover zucchini sauce?

It can be frozen before adding the broccoli. However, as it contains cream, it is advisable to beat it when defrosting to regain homogeneity.

How do I substitute oat flour if I don’t have it?

You can use cornstarch or common wheat flour in the same proportion. However, the oats add a delicious subtle nutty touch.

Can I make the recipe completely vegetarian?

Yes, simply eliminate the ham and chorizo ​​from the preparation. Additionally, you can add sautéed mushrooms to maintain the consistency of the dish.
