Recipe Introduction


Tasty shredded zucchini adds color, and grated lemon peel lends a bright note of citrus, but the real star here is dill, which is used in both the meatballs and the sauce.

FOR THE MEATBALLS:
1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs (1-slice bread)
1 large egg
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
2 teaspoons vegetable oil

1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 (14 1/2 oz.) can chicken broth
3 cups zucchini, shredded
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
1/4 cup sour half-and-half
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 pound bowtie pasta, cooked according to package directions
