    Recipe Introduction


    added some red pepper flakes - and it was fantastic.

    List of Ingredients




    coarse salt and ground pepper
    3/4 lb whole-wheat linguine or spaghetti
    2 TBS olive oil
    1/2 red onion -- halve it, then slice one half into 1/2" thick slices
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    4 zucchini (8 oz each), halved crosswise, cut lengthwise into 1/4" thick slices, and then into 1/4" sticks
    2 plum tomatoes, quartered lengthwise and cut into 1/4" wide strips ***see note below
    3/4 c shredded soy or FF Parmesan cheese

    Recipe



    In a large pot of boiling water, cook pasta until al dente according to package instructions.

    Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 1 TBS oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, until translucent, 3-5 minutes. Add zucchini and 1/2 c water; season with salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until zucchini is tender, about 10 minutes.

    Drain pasta, reserving 1 c pasta water. Return pasta to pot. Add zucchini mixture, remaining TBS oil, tomatoes, 1/2 c cheese, and reserved pasta water. Season with salt and pepper; toss to combine. Serve immediately, sprinkled with remaining Parmesan.

    ***Cutting tomatoes: quarter each tomato lengthwise, then use a paring knife to take out the pulp and seeds. Cut lengthwise into 1/4" wide strips.
