Wash the zucchini and mushrooms. Cut the zucchini into small pieces and remove the stems from the mushrooms. Chop these finely. Chop the onions. Heat a little olive oil in a pan. Sauté the onions. Then add the zucchini, mushrooms, and garlic to the pan. If you want something spicy, chop the chili pepper and mix it with the vegetables. Season well with salt and pepper. Add paprika if desired. When the vegetables are cooked, add the cream. Stir in the herbs de Provence and let it simmer for a while. Put the pasta water on the heat.
