Instructions

  1. 1. Fill a large pot with about 5 liters of water and add salt. Place the pot on the stove and bring the water to a boil.
  2. 2. Cut the honeydew melon in half. Use a spoon to remove the seeds. Cut the melon into quarters. Carefully separate the flesh from the hard rind. Cut the flesh into small cubes.
  3. 3. Tear the Serrano ham into rough, irregular pieces.
  4. 4. Rinse the zucchini under running water. Cut off the hard ends. Grate the zucchini coarsely using a grater.
  5. 5. Cut the onion in half. Peel off the outer layers. Cut the onion into very small cubes.
  6. 6. Rinse the mint under running water. Shake it dry. Pluck the leaves from the stems. Chop the mint finely.
  7. 7. Add the spaghetti to the boiling salted water. Cook the pasta for about 9 minutes until al dente (firm to the bite).
  8. 8. Drain the spaghetti in a colander. Reserve about a cup of the pasta water.
  9. 9. Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
  10. 10. Add the diced onion to the pan. Sauté it for about 2 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent.

  12. 12. Add the melon cubes to the pan. Remove the pan from the heat. Mix all ingredients well together.
  13. 13. Add the drained spaghetti to the pan. Mix everything well so that the pasta is coated with the sauce.
  14. 14. If the mixture seems too dry, add a little of the reserved pasta water. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  15. 15. Divide the spaghetti onto plates. Top with the Serrano ham pieces and sprinkle the chopped mint over them. Serve the dish immediately.
