Spaghetti with Zucchini Sauce

Ingredients:
1 lb spaghetti
1 cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic, crushed
4 large zucchini, coarsely grated
1 tsp black pepper
1/3 cup fresh basil leaves, shredded
1/3 cup pine nuts (optional, as children may not like the strong flavor)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Directions:
Boil pasta according to package instructions, drain and put into a big bowl

In a large pan, heat the olive oil and add the crushed garlic and zucchini. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes or until the zucchini has softened. Stir through the pepper and the basil leaves.

In a small pan toast the pine nuts, making sure that they don’t burn.

Add the zucchini mixture to the hot pasta, combine and sprinkle with the toasted pine nuts and cheese.

This is a delicious and quick pasta dish. Enjoy with crusty French bread and a tossed green salad.
