Hi Everyone,
Hope you’re doing well! Today I’m sharing a very simple and delicious light Tomato Basil Zucchini pasta. It’s not heavy on the sauce, in fact it’s very light. But it’s got the most subtle tomato basil flavour with a hint of garlic with delicious zucchini slices. It takes only 10 minutes to prepare and only 15 minutes to cook. Not bad for a weekday meal after a long day at work.
For this recipe, I’m using non-GMO Barilla pasta, organic and local tomatoes, zucchinis, basil and garlic. I’m also using Terra Delyssa organic olive oil.
Well I hope you give this recipe a try and if you enjoy it, please share it with your family and friends.
Take care,
Christie
