Time 20m

Yield 3 to 4 servings, depending on appetites

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, chopped
2 medium-size zucchini, sliced 1/4 inch thick
3 medium-size tomatoes, peeled, seeded and diced
1 cup tomato sauce, canned or fresh
Salt to taste
1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese
1 pound of linguine or fresh egg noodles

Steps:

  • Add oil to skillet. When oil is hot, add the garlic and saute 30 seconds.
  • Add zucchini and stir-fry two minutes.
  • Add tomatoes and saute for three minutes. Then add tomato sauce and simmer for 10 minutes. Taste first and, if necessary, add salt and sugar. (Mr. Perlman suggests adding the sugar only to counteract the acidity of the tomatoes.)
  • Just before serving, add heavy cream and Parmesan cheese; cook for five minutes. Serve with the pasta prepared al dente.

This pasta dish is just okay. The sauce is a little bland and the zucchini and tomatoes don't add much flavor.

I'm not a big fan of cream sauces, but this one was surprisingly light and flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again!

This dish was a bit too rich for me. I think I'll try using a lighter sauce next time.

This pasta dish is a great way to use up leftover zucchini. I also added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes and it was delicious!

I thought the sauce was a little too heavy for my taste. I might try using less cream next time.
