Fettuccine with Toasted Almonds, Zucchini and Lemon

Ingredients

8 ounce whole-wheat fettuccine
2 tablespoon olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon crushed garlic
1 teaspoon salt, divided
1 teaspoon pepper, divided
1 zucchini, sliced
6 ounce toasted almonds, chopped
1/2 lemon

Directions

Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. While the pasta is cooking, sauté the zucchini slices in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic, and salt and pepper over medium-high heat until the zucchini starts to brown, about 5-7 minutes.
