“Zucchini sounds more like a pasta than a vegetable”
“Zucchini” sounds to many English speakers more like a pasta than a vegetable. The “-ini” ending sound on pastas include bucatini, capellini, fettuccine, linguine and tortellini. Zucchini is a popular ingredient in many pasta dishes, however.

Wikipedia: Zucchini
The zucchini (/zʊˈkiːni/ (listen); plural: zucchini or zucchinis), courgette (/kʊərˈʒɛt/; plural: courgettes) or baby marrow (Cucurbita pepo) is a summer squash, a vining herbaceous plant whose fruit are harvested when their immature seeds and epicarp (rind) are still soft and edible. It is closely related, but not identical, to the marrow; its fruit may be called marrow when mature.

Actually it’s used to make a completely veggie version of pasta - really delicious too.
