Zucchini Pasta With Fresh Tomato Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. On rimmed baking sheet, toss zucchini, tomatoes, and garlic with 5 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Spread into single layer; roast until zucchini is lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
• In large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente, about 12 minutes. Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water. Return pasta to pot. Toss with remaining tablespoon oil; cover.
• Pour reserved pasta water onto baking sheet of cooked vegetables; scrape with a wooden spoon to loosen browned bits. Stir vegetables and juices into pasta. Add parsley and Parmesan; toss to combine. Serve with more Parmesan.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; saute zucchini until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Season zucchini with oregano and basil. Add tomato sauce; cook and stir until heated through, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over zucchini mixture.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, melt butter with oil over medium heat. Add onions, cook and stir until tender, 5-7 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, zucchini, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until zucchini is tender and sauce reaches desired consistency, 50-60 minutes. Serve with pasta.

Steps:

• In saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat.
• Add tomatoes, thyme, bay leaf, sugar, salt and pepper, cook, uncovered, for 7 to 10 minutes or until excess moisture has evaporated.
• Remove bay leaf.
• Meanwhile, slice unpeeled zucchini lengthwise into long wide strips about 1/8 inch thick.
• (Use a veggie slicer or I find a veggie peeler is best, in long single swipes.) In a large frypan, heat 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil over high heat.
• Add half of the zucchini strips and half of the garlic, sprinkle with a pinch of cayenne, cook, stirring almost constantly for about 3 minutes or until zucchini is tender and golden, being careful not to break it.
• Remove to paper towel lined baking sheet and keep warm in low oven.
• Repeat with remaining oil, zucchini, garlic and cayenne.
• Arrange zucchini mixture on warmed serving platter.
• Pour sauce over and sprinkle with parmesan.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• To make the sauce, heat the olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced zucchini and cook until browned, about 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, parsley, basil, salt and pepper and cook until heated through, about 1 minute longer.
• To make the pasta, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Place the halved zucchini on a work surface, cut side down, and slice lengthwise into thin strips. Place in the pot and cook for 3 minutes. Drain well. Place in a large bowl, sprinkle with the salt and toss with the tomato sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Divide among 4 plates and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Trim and peel the zucchini, then use a mandoline or a vegetable peeler to thinly slice lengthwise into wide ribbons (stop when you get to the seeds). Cut the ribbons into 1/4-to-1/2-inch-wide strips to make them look like fettuccine. Transfer to a colander and toss with 3/4 teaspoon salt; let drain in the sink, tossing occasionally, about 30 minutes. Rinse well and pat dry.
• Meanwhile, peel the tomatoes using a sharp vegetable peeler, then halve horizontally and squeeze out the seeds. Puree 1 tomato with the olive oil, garlic, jalapeno, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a food processor or blender. Transfer to a bowl. Chop the remaining 4 tomatoes and add to the bowl; add the pine nuts, basil, oregano, and salt to taste.
• Divide the zucchini among bowls and top with the tomato sauce. Top with more pine nuts and drizzle with olive oil.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until the garlic is just golden, about 1 minute. Crush the tomatoes into the skillet with your hands and add the juice. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Add the zucchini and cook until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the capellini and cook as the label directs. Drain and add to the sauce along with the basil; toss to coat. Top with parmesan.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Place the penne pasta in the pot, cook 10 minutes, until al dente, and drain.
• In a large bowl, toss the cooked pasta with the tomatoes, Italian dressing, basil, red onion, and Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a wide saucepan; add in onion; stir/saute 5 minutes.
• Stir in zucchini and mushrooms; saute over high heat, stirring, until tender, about 10 minutes.
• Stir in garlic; saute 1 minute.
• Add in tomatoes; cook/stir 5 minutes.
• Add in salt, parsley, and basil.
• Toss hot pasta with the sauce; serve immediately; sprinkle grated parmesan on top.
