If you’re growing zucchini in your garden this summer (or if you have friends who share their garden bounty), here’s a delicious pasta recipe you can use it in! This recipe, in addition to zucchini, has mushrooms, green onions, and cherry tomatoes, all sauteed in minced garlic, butter, and olive oil. It’s also flavored with some fresh chopped basil and Provolone and Parmesan cheese—lots of great savory flavor!
Another nice thing is that there’s no baking involved—this pasta dish cooks up in a large skillet on your stovetop, which makes it great for warm-weather months when you don’t want to use your oven. Serve this pasta with a simple salad and some garlic bread.—it makes a wonderful meal!
