Tomato & Zucchini Pasta

{I know it's not technically Summer, but doesn't the warm weather feel wonderful? My friend Michelle had us over for lunch today and made the most amazing pasta dish, I had to beg her to share and she obliged (I did ask, right Michelle?) } I borrowed this right off her blog. I loved her pictures of the fresh vegi's! YUMMMY!!!

The only thing I'd change is I wouldtry to figure out how much 'a few good shakes of dried herbs' equal out to of fresh herbs from my garden. ;-)

Ingredients:

3 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds & cut in 1/2

1 to 1 1/2 lbs Sweet Grape/cherub tomatoes

1-2 heads of peeled garlic, left whole

A few good shakes of dried parsley

A few good shakes of dried oregano

A few good shakes of dried onion

Dash of Salt & Pepper

1 pkg sun dried tomato chicken sausage*

1 lb linguine

Parmesan Cheese

Directions:

Pre-heat oven to 400.

Slice sausage into rounds and cook. Set aside.

Combine zucchini, tomatoes, garlic, parsley, oregano, onion, salt & pepper in a glass 9x13 dish (see above picture).

Add Olive Oil and toss to coat.

Bake in oven for approx. 30 minutes, or until the tomatoes just start to pop.

Meanwhile, boil water & cook pasta according to package directions.

Combine tomato & zucchini mixture & add to pasta.

Top with parmesan cheese.

Michelle says this is also really good with spinach, too. *Sausage is optional. If you want to cook vegetarian, just omit.
It was so delicious. We'll come over for lunch anytime. Thanks again!

On with the Garden Vegitables!!! Zucchine Galore!!!

http://www.ljcfyi.com/ljcsProjects/cooking/zucchini_recipes.html

Above is the link to a whole bunch of Zucchine Recipes. I have harvested my first two Zucchine in the past two days... I'm sure that I'm in for a WHOLE lot more! So I spent some time looking for Zucchine recipes today. I ran across this site. She has too many recipes to try and pick just one.

I think I have 4 or more Zucchine plants producing. I'll be over run in no time. Yummy! Of course my kids think they don't like it, so it is up to Bill and I to eat most of it. I need some variety. This looks good.

I also found a zucchine olive oil cake recipe that looks quite tasty on another site... I posdted the link to the side, as she had lots of tasty looking snacks and treats on her site.

One more Moore, also had a really nice zucchine recipe posted (and she appeared to have lots of tasty recipes), so I put her on the list of links on the side bar as well.

This one I just decided to post, as it was short:
