Pasta with Zucchini in a Lemon Basil Cream Sauce

1 tbsp olive oil
1 spring onion, or two green onions, peeled and roughly chopped
2 small zucchini or yellow summer squash, or a combination, washed and cut into 1/4" slices
1/4 cup fresh thyme leaves, or 1 tbsp dried
1/2 cup 10% cream or 18% if you are feeling a bit decadent
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Salt and pepper to taste
Enough cooked pasta for 2
Parmesan cheese (optional)

Heat olive oil in a skillet. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add zucchini and cook until barely tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in thyme.

Add the cream and lemon juice and heat through. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Spoon over pasta and garnish with fresh thyme and add parmesan cheese, if using.
