A colorful combination of zucchini and zippy canned tomatoes is delicious over quick-cooking angel hair pasta. We like the extra zest from crushed red pepper flakes. —Kathleen Timberlake, Dearborn Heights, Michigan

Ingredients:
• 1 package (7 ounces) angel hair pasta or thin spaghetti
• 2 small zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) Mexican diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/8 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute zucchini and garlic in oil until zucchini is crisp-tender.

2. Add the tomatoes, parsley, oregano and pepper flakes; heat through. Drain pasta; serve with zucchini mixture.
