Prep: Wash and dry all produce. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Cut the zucchini into 1/2-inch cubes. Mince or grate the garlic. Finely chop the parsley.
Cook the pasta: Add the fusilli to the boiling water. Cook until tender, 5-6 min.
Cook the zucchini: Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil, then the zucchini. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown and tender, 3-4 min.Transfer to a plate.
Toast the garlic: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add another drizzle of oil to the same pan, then the garlic and as much chili flakes as you like. Cook, stirring often, until the garlic just starts to turn golden, 2-3 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on the garlic so it doesn't burn!) Season with salt and pepper.
Assemble the pasta: Drain the pasta, then it stir into the garlic-oil mixture. Add the zucchini, mozzarella and parsley. Stir to combine.
Finish and serve: Divide the fusilli aglio e olio between bowls. Enjoy!
