Angel's Pasta

Yet another awesome zucchini recipe! This time with pasta.  I didn't have any ripe tomatoes, so I used a 14 oz can of diced tomatoes.  Next time I will use fresh - mmm!  I also don't have any fresh basil :(.  I need to get some. 

Angel's Pasta

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces angel hair pasta
  • 1 tablespoon crushed garlic
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 zucchini, sliced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 tomatoes, chopped
  • 12 leaves fresh basil
  • 4 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
  2. Meanwhile, heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Pour in oil and saute garlic until golden. Stir in zucchini, salt and pepper. Saute 2 minutes, then mix in tomato and cook a few minutes more. Chop basil and add to vegetables right before mixing with pasta.
  3. Combine pasta and vegetables. Serve topped with mozzarella.
