Ingredients:
About 1 1/2 pounds pasta (I used Fusilli - the spirally kind)
A couple cups of your favorite pasta cream sauce (Alfredo, Creamy Basil, basically any white sauce will do. I was in a hurry tonight so I just used a jar of Archer Farms Rose Cream Sauce.)
2 Tablespoons EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
1 zucchini
1/2 large onion, or 1 small onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
Garlic salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Parmesan Cheese
Bring water to rolling boil and cook pasta according to directions. Shave zucchini with a vegetable peeler and slice onion into thin slices. In fry pan, warm olive oil on medium heat. Add vegetables, garlic, garlic salt, and pepper and saute 2-3 minutes, or until cooked, but still crunchy. Once pasta is cooked through, drain water and toss with heated pasta sauce. Top with cooked vegetables and grated Parmesan Cheese.
The great thing about this recipe is that it's so versatile. You could use broccoli, peas, asparagus, peppers, or green beans in place of the zucchini. And for those of you with picky eaters like me, I pureed the veggies and mixed them in with the sauce and got no complaints. You could even skip the cream sauce and just toss the pasta with a little chicken broth and olive oil and then top it with cheese.
