Pasta with Garden Vegetables

Fresh from the garden
Only the little guy and I like this one. There are too many veggies in too chunky of a form for everyone else, but it's sooooo good that I had to post it. :)

Pasta with Garden Vegetables
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 cup onion, chopped
1 1/2 cups zucchini, chopped
2 gloves garlic, pressed
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 1/2 cups tomatoes, chopped
2 cups precooked pasta
1 Tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
1/2 Tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Parmesan cheese, shredded
  • Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  • Add onion and saute for 3 minutes.
  • Add zucchini, oregano, salt and pepper and saute for 5 minutes.
  • Add garlic and saute for 1 minute.
  • Add tomatoes and pasta. Cook for 5-10 minutes until tomatoes are juiced out and soft.
  • Stir in basil and parsley.
  • Serve topped with Parmesan cheese.
Notes:  Play around with the amounts of veggies depending on what you have available. If you like it more saucy, add more tomatoes. If you have lots of zucchini to use, then add more zucchini.
