  1. To prepare Saffron Reginette (wide ribbon pasta) with Zucchini and Cherry Tomatoes, start by washing and cleaning the leek, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes. Cut the zucchini into small cubes, quarter the cherry tomatoes, and slice the leek into rounds.
  2. Pour a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil into a non-stick pan and sauté the leek. Add the zucchini and cherry tomatoes, cooking over high heat for about 5-6 minutes, until the zucchini becomes crispy yet tender.
  3. Dissolve the saffron in a small amount of water and pour it over the vegetables. Season with salt, add a sprinkle of black pepper, and continue cooking until the water evaporates.
  4. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in plenty of lightly salted water until al dente (tender but still firm to the bite).
  5. Add the pasta to the vegetables, toss everything together to finish cooking all ingredients, and serve the Saffron Reginette with Zucchini and Cherry Tomatoes while hot! Finally, remember to download our App with exclusive content and fewer ads!
