Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Ask a question about this stepPlace a 12 inch saute pan over high heat. Add the pasta to the boiling water pot and cook it according to the directions on the box. About 10 minutes.
Ask a question about this stepAdd the butter to the saute pan. Add the shallot and zucchini. The zucchini should just start to caramelize. Season with salt and pepper.
Ask a question about this stepAdd the chicken and a 1/4 cup of the pasta water.
Ask a question about this stepWhen the pasta is finished cooking, drain it and put it back in the pasta pot. Add the cottage cheese, cilantro and the zucchini mix. Toss, taste and season if necessary.
Ask a question about this stepPut it in a big serving bowl and top it with the green coriander, black pepper, and more cilantro. Serve immediately with crusty bread.
Ask a question about this stepCoriander is nothing more than the seed of the cilantro plant. So green coriander is the fresh seed that is still green instead of dried coriander which is brown. If I am not mistaken in England and maybe in Europe they call cilantro, coriander.
Mmmmm..this looks very good. I like the combination of herbs...
Hey, after three stops at my CSA farm I finally found the green coriander. On the last trip I had detailed directions on how to locate it seeing as I really didn't quite know what I was looking for. It smells wonderful! I got a boatload, any other suggestions with what to do with it?
Oh YUM. We were able to get green coriander last summer at our local farmers' market - I'll have to keep my eyes peeled to see if we can get it again this year. Another lovely dish from you, sir.
Any suggestions for where to find green coriander? I'm letting one of my cilantro plants flower, but it's taking its sweet time...
I thought that I was the only one that loved cottage cheese so much that I put it on everything......WRONG! thanks for a great recipe ...again...as usual...
I have summer PA Dutch recipes that include likewise ingredients, plus fresh dill, served at room temperature...OK, I need a blog, I guess - you are right on, thanks to Chef Tom.
You know Lizthechef you just jogged my memory it wasn't Shakers it was the PA Dutch and specifically a piece written by a guy named William Woys Weaver. An amazing gardner, writer and cookbook.
Oh and dymnyo I have come back to cottage cheese after a long hiatus.
thirschfeld, I think it is very fitting, then, that I am testing this recipe in the heart of PA Dutch country in Central PA, isn't it? Does Mr. Weaver give any hints on weather I should seek out a particular type of PA Dutch cottage cheese? Or will cheese from the transplant artisan cheesemaker down the road do?
Duh, stupid me, I sent you a message and are you making the cheese? I hope so, I have made cottage cheese twice, once it was great the other time bad. Both times it was the most expensive cottage cheese ever. Luckily we have a local dairy that makes great cheese.
Printed out, on the fridge - ready to go - thanks, Chef Tom!
This is going to be my go-to summer pasta recipe. I'll bet any summer squash will work - maybe shrimp instead of chicken once in a while...Noodles and cottage cheese are a wonderful old-fashioned combo of flavors. Thumbs up!
I am guessing all toss options would be great, especially the shrimp.
I am guessing all those options would be great, especially the shrimp.
This sounds delicious, can't wait for the PacNW zuccnini season to try this and other recipes out here...thanks for sharing this!
Thank you. My zucchini and summer squash are just coming in.

What is green coriander? I live in France and I have a hard enough time just finding fresh coriander; also, I thought cilantro and coriander were the same. Would love to have some enlightenment. Thanks.
