Penne with zucchine and mascarpone

Wash the zucchini, cut into thin slices (approx. 3 mm), and set aside in a bowl. Heat a little olive oil in a pan and add a finely chopped onion. Sauté the onion very briefly, then immediately add the zucchini slices and deglaze with 150 ml of water. Cook the zucchini on low heat until cooked through, adding more water if necessary. Season with salt and pepper (you can add a little more pepper, as the mascarpone is very mild). Remove the zucchini from the heat and let it cool. Mix in the mascarpone (mixing the mascarpone with the hot zucchini will make it much too runny). Cook the penne and mix it with the sauce. To serve, sprinkle some freshly ground pepper on the penne.
