PASTA WITH ZUCCHINI SAUCE
i saw a version of this recipe on a local cooking show and have played with it to make it faster and easier for us nonprofessional cooks out there. Everytime I've made this dish I have never had a single leftover. we've also been known to add other squash, but i think it's best with the zucchini. It's very delicious, fast, and unusual. Enjoy!! **NOTE** recently I have tried slice the zucchini into julienne strips and WOW!! its like zucchini noodles, so either way is great!!!

- fry zucchini in garlic oil until lightly golden; do not crowd the pan, take your time and fry in small batches.

- strain pasta and return to the cooking pot. add zucchini and garlic oil. add water depending on how dry the pasta looks. it could take the whole 1/4 cup depending on how much oil evaporated while frying.
