Angel Hair Pasta with Zucchini and Tomatoes
2 medium zucchinis, julienned
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 shallots, diced
3 tomatoes, diced
4 tsp olive oil
salt and pepper
crushed red pepper flakes to taste
12 oz high fiber angel hair pasta, like Barilla Plus
1/4 cup fat free chicken or vegetable broth
fresh Parmesan cheese
In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta according to instructions.
Meanwhile, in a large saute pan, heat pan on medium-high flame and add oil when pan is hot. Add garlic and shallots to the pan and saute about 1 minute. Add zucchini and season with salt and pepper. Cook about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, crushed red pepper flakes, parsley, chicken broth and adjust salt and pepper. Stir for another minute. Remove from flame.
Drain pasta when done and mix well with vegetables. Top with fresh Parmesan cheese.
--- I thought this one was "ok." Philip really liked it a lot. He ate most of it. First of all, I used double the pasta I was supposed to... cause I wasn't paying attention. lol. And, I didn't like how the recipe wasn't specific ("pepper to taste"). I also added chicken cause I knew Philip would freak if there was no meat. I'd probably make this again sometime, but it wasn't great. Maybe because it was pretty much all pasta.... my fault....
Here is that cute video I mentioned in my earlier post... seriously, I don't know what is with the screaching noise, but he does it EVERY night before bed. It's like he's so overly excited he can't contain himself.
And this is just me and Cooper playing today :)
I came home from work Tuesday to find this in my front yard...
My wonderful in-laws surprised me with new flowers on Tuesday! I can't wait till they grow and fill out the planters :)
