Cooking Tips

• Make sure to cook the linguine until al dente, as it will continue to cook slightly when tossed with the other ingredients.
• Feel free to add other vegetables, such as cherry tomatoes or spinach, to the dish for added flavor and nutrition.
• If you can't find smoked trout, you can substitute it with smoked salmon or grilled trout.
• For a creamier sauce, you can toss the linguine with a little bit of butter or cream before adding the zucchini and trout.

Storage and Serving

• This dish is best served immediately while the pasta is still hot and the flavors are fresh.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, gently warm the linguine in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water or olive oil to prevent it from drying out.
• Garnish with fresh herbs before serving to add a pop of color and freshness.
