OK, Kim laughs a lot at me when Its my turn to choose a meal, because she thinks garlic and olive oil with pasta and some kind of veggie is my "go to" meal. However, the truth is, I just love the whole combo, and because I love vegetables, the possibilities are endless as are the combinations. So tonight is pasta with zucchini, but watch in the next few weeks what I come up with, if I dont get vetoed. Here's the very simple but delicious recipe
4 medium size zucchinis(yellow or green, I have yellow)$1.99
1 lb pasta- Im using spaghetti.99
3 tablespoon extra virgin olive .25
3 garlic cloves minced .15
1/4 cup onion sliced thinly .10
salt and pepper to taste
parm cheese.15
2 tablespoons parsley dry or fresh
red pepper flakes optional
Begin by cooking pasta
peel and slice zucchine thickness of a nickle
heat 2 tblsp oil in large skillet on low, add onion until soft and glassy 10 minutes
add minced garlic, saute on low with onion 5 more minutes
add zucchini salt and pepper, saute unitl zucchini slightly soft and glassy, remove from heat immediately(zucchini can become soft and mushy if over cooked even slightly)
when pasta cooked drain and toss in skillet with zucchine, add tablespoon of olive oil and saute for a few minutes
serve in individual bowls with parsley, parm cheese and red pepper(if desired)
enjoy
