Ingredients
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- 3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 summer squahses, such as yellow and zucchini, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- coarse salt and ground pepper

- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 lb pici or other long, thin pasta, such as bucatini or spaghetti
- 1 Tbsp coarsely chopped fresh tarragon
Instructions
COOK'S NOTE Follow these steps when you cook the pasta for this dish: Bring a large pot of water (6 quarts) to a boil -- you want enough water so the pasta can move around. Season the water with 1/4 cup coarse salt. (The water should be well seasoned; think "salty like the sea.") Cook 1 pound of pasta until al dente. Drain, reserving at least 2 cups cooking water. The pasta releases starch as it cooks, and the starchy water is essential to the sauce.
Cook onion in 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium heat, stirring, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add remaining tablespoon oil, the squashes, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
Add wine and ouzo. Bring to a simmer. Cook for 2 minutes. Add cream; toss to coat. Add pasta, reserved cooking water, and tarragon, and gently toss.
