Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

salt and pepper
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
5 -6 medium zucchini (rinsed, trimmed and cut into ribbons or coins)
1 large onion, chopped
2 -3 sprigs thyme
2 tomatoes (in wedges or roughly chopped, with their juice)
1/2 lb cut pasta (like ziti or penne)
freshly grated parmesan cheese or freshly chopped parsley (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Put olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add zucchini, onion and thyme, and cook, stirring occasionally. Add salt and pepper and adjust heat so onion and zucchini release their liquid without browning. Cook for about 20 minutes, or until very tender.
  • Add tomatoes and their liquid to zucchini and raise heat a bit so mixture bubbles. Cook pasta until it is nearly but not quite tender. If sauce threatens to dry out, add a little pasta cooking water.
  • Drain pasta and finish cooking it in sauce. Serve, garnished with parsley or Parmesan.

I followed the recipe exactly and the zucchini pasta turned out mushy. I think I would cook the zucchini for less time next time.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used some more seasoning or maybe some chopped fresh herbs.
