Pasta looks amazing! I took last year off from zucchini - the glut was too much to keep up with - but I felt bad because my darling dog has learned to beg when the cutting board comes out. He loves vegetables from the garden... especially zucchini! We have a plant again this year, so will definitely try zucchini pasta. 😂
Leanne, these two recipes look SO good! Your recipes made me catch my breath, not only because they sound crazy-good to enjoy, but honestly, what made me about cry was that for the first-time-ever I was sitting here looking at what my family has loved for what feels like ten lifetimes - the second one that you've called (and I agree!) the "purist" version - and it felt so incredible to see that someone else has loved this dish too.
I loved reading that you've made it for eons (oh my gosh, it IS good, isn't it?) only my version (I found forever-ago from Paul Prudhomme's "Eat this, it'll make you feel better" cookbook) has been made with broccoli, along with fontina for creaminess (sometimes) and always, always, always, enough parmesan to make you cheese-happy into next week.
And now there's your gorgeous take on this dish - Leanne! - I LOVE the idea of using zucchini, what a beautiful idea! You've brought such lovely memories out today, I've just got to make your version right away ... thank you, truly. Oh, and I can't think of anything better than your no-knead bread to go with it too.
Well, now it’s my turn to catch my breath. Thank you for taking the time to write such a beautiful note, Nicole. I’ll think of you every time I make the “purist” version from now on.
((Leanne)) I have to be honest, up until a few months ago I'd not heard of you until you were introduced to me via The Luxury Home Show. And as I watched you explain how you'd made the design choices you have, I was taken back by how you'd done so with such a natural-born sense of design that it brought tears to my eyes. Sound dramatic? Perhaps. But those feelings were driven because, had I been brave enough to follow that path instead of hiding in safer places, it felt as if "meeting" you that day somehow gave my heart a place to live vicariously-through, does that make sense? And then yesterday, there was your recipe. So, before I get way too mushy than is appropriate, just ... thank you.

Ahhh this is amazing!

This is the loveliest sentiment and will fuel me for a long time. Thank you.
Yum! Thanks
Wow that has made me very hungry!
Do you have any recommendations for a good olive oil?
