Ingredients
1 pound spaghetti
5 tablespoons Country Crock® Original Spread, divided
2 small shallots, minced (about 1/4 cup)
2 medium zucchini, halved and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
1 pint cherry tomatoes (about 2 cups)
1/2 cup Kalamata olives, whole or halved
zest and juice of 1 lemon
salt and pepper, to taste
fresh basil, for garnish
Instructions
Cook the spaghetti in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and transfer to a serving bowl or platter.
Meanwhile melt 3 tablespoons Country Crock Original Spread in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the zucchini and cherry tomatoes and cook, stirring, until the zucchini browns and cooks through and the tomatoes begin to blister and pop, 5 to 7 minutes.
Pour the veggies over the pasta along with the kalamata olives and lemon zest.
In a small bowl, melt remaining 2 tablespoons Country Crock and stir in the lemon juice. Pour it over the veggies and pasta. Sprinkle with salt & pepper and toss to combine. Garnish with whole or sliced fresh basil.
