Angel's Pasta

Last night we chose from our weekly menu to make a new dish, Angel's Pasta. I really didn't think it would be all that great, but it looked really healthy and I love zucchini. It turned out to be surprisingly incredible!! So I thought I'd share. Yum! I love healthy recipes.

Ingredients

• 8 ounces angel hair pasta
• 1 tablespoon crushed garlic
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 zucchini, sliced
• salt and pepper to taste
• 3 tomatoes, chopped
• 12 leaves fresh basil
• 4 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded

Directions

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
2. Meanwhile, heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Pour in oil and saute garlic until golden. Stir in zucchini, salt and pepper. Saute 2 minutes, then mix in tomato and cook a few minutes more. Chop basil and add to vegetables right before mixing with pasta.
3. Combine pasta and vegetables. Serve topped with mozzarella.

Note: We didn't have fresh basil so I added some dried basil just before serving. This is a meatless dish, but you're welcome to add chicken and even more veggies, like mushrooms.
