Betty's Pasta With Tomato And Zucchini Sauce
Instructions
In a large pot, bring at least 2 inches of water to a boil over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon salt. When the water is boiling, add 8-oz. uncooked penne pasta, and cook, according to package instructions. Drain. Add 2 teaspoons olive oil and mix well. Cover with aluminum foil and set aside. Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add 1 sliced zucchini, 1 chopped onion, and 1 minced clove of garlic. Saute about 4 minutes, until onion is clear. Spoon sauted vegetables into a large bowl and cover with aluminum foil. Set aside. Add (2) cans of Italian-style stewed tomatoes, teaspoon salt, and teaspoon freshly ground pepper to skillet. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and cook for about 12 minutes, or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Stir in sauted vegetables and cup freshly chopped basil. Place cooked penne pasta on a large serving platter. Spoon tomato and zucchini sauce evenly over the top. Sprinkle with cup finely grated Parmesan cheese. Serve Pasta with Tomato and Zucchini Sauce along with Italian Bread with Cheese Topping (also in bettyskitchen). This is a healthy dish, and it tastes wonderful! I hope you enjoy it! --Betty
