Re: Zucchini and pasta recipe please!

do you have fettuccine in the house? You can use a peeler and make ribbons (similar size to fettuccine) and then add the to the pasta water towards the end of the pasta cooking time. Then I would sautee some on the prosciutto, add the onions, let them soften a bit and then add the tomatoes, s/p, basil, maybe even a splash of wine and cream and serve it over the pasta and zucchini

OMG! My favorite pasta recipe that I made up myself....not really a recipe, just what I like to make!

I chop and onion and sautee it in some olive oil along with about 5 cloves of crushed garlic. Then I add in half moon pieces of zucchini and sautee for a few minutes. Then I turn up the heat and add about a cup of white wine and let it reduce a little. Then add a can of petite diced tomatoes (big or small, depending upon how much tomato you want) and then I add some italian seasoning and salt. I cover it and let is simmer until the zucchini is tender and the sauce has come together. Then I just pour it over whatever pasta I have on hand and toss to combine. YUM!

ETA: To include the prosciutto, I would just chop it and add it to the pan while sauteeing the veggies. It would be a delicious addition!
