How to Make Pasta With Tomato Courgette And Garlic

  1. Finely chop 1/2 medium onion.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and 2 medium zucchini, diced into 1/2-inch pieces. Cook for 5 minutes, or until zucchini is tender-crisp.
  4. Add 1 (14.5 ounce) can of cherry tomatoes (undrained) to the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, cook 8 ounces of your favorite pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
  6. Add the cooked pasta to the pan with the tomatoes and zucchini. Toss to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add a little pasta water to loosen it.
  7. Stir in 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with 1 tablespoon of toasted pine nuts.
