"This was highly recommended on Reddit. And everyone was very excited about her cookbook Ligurian-style pasta sauce with zucchini young, glossy and carrots, the vegetables are cut into fine julienne strips, sautéed with onion and marjoram, and then tossed with pasta, butter, and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. This technique, based on a recipe from Italian cooking expert Marcella Hazan, concentrates the flavors of the vegetables and creates a silky texture without using tomatoes. Make it vegan by using margarine and vegan cheese"
