Anyone have a zuccini & pasta recipe?

Heat a little olive oil in a pan. when it is warm, add a can of garlic and basil seasoned diced tomatoes. when the tomatoes are heated through and the juices have thickened a bit, add some chopped zucchini and simmer until the zucchini is tender. Serve over angel hair pasta.

Answer 2

Gagutza is a tomato-based soup with zucchini and pasta. Quarter and slice 2 or 3 zucchinis and put them in a large pot with a little olive oil and a lot of basil (2-3 tbsp.) Take two of the large cans of whole peeled tomatoes and shred each one briefly in the blender with about 3/4 can water. Add the tomatoes to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil. Turn the heat down and simmer for 25 minutes. Add about a cup of small shells or salad macaroni, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for another 15 minutes. It's yummy with some crusty sourdough bread (and parmeson or romano if you eat cheese.)

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
2 cups chopped zucchini
1 tomato, chopped

Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the topping is lightly browned. Allow to sit 5 minutes before serving.

Answer 5

Well one of my favourites is to slice & saute some onion, add rings of zuccini and tomatoes (skins off) with butter, add a little Herbamare salt, saute lightly and serve up with some cooked pasta. A little chopped carrot gives colour and texture as the others are fairly bland. Enjoy summers bounty.

Answer 6

Boil pasta with water, olive oil, and a dash of salt. Sautee zuccini and broccoli in olive oil and toss in with cooked pasta. Add 1 tbs minced garlic and parmesean cheese (substitute dairy free parmesean for vegans.) You can also add in chopped cherry tomatos.

Answer 9

I don't really have a recipe, but in the past I have sauteed in olive oil zucchini to soften and carmelize them while i boil some sort of small pasta. (bowtie, ziti, etc)

Then I make some sort of a red sauce with tomato sauce, paste, and crushed tomatoes and whatever spices i have on hand. (oregano, mediterranian oregano, parsley, thyme, basil, bay leaves, etc) don't forget the garlic! lemon zest will do wonders too.

mix with carmelized onions, peppers, chicken, whatever you like and have on hand.
let your imagination run wild! mmmm...hungry now, good luck!
