Zucchini and Tomato Penne

I decided to try zucchini for the first time, if you don't count it being in bread. I found this recipe online (http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Zucchini-Parmesan#.UCLRNYhXEfo.pinterest) for zucchini and tomatoes, but I tweaked it and served it over pasta. It was delicious!! You can serve it with cooked hamburger or chicken if you'd like, too. I also used 2 zucchini, 1 tomato, and cut the spice portions in half for a few servings, or you can cut the recipe in half



1/2 to 1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 medium zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 fresh slicing tomato or 1 1/2 Roma tomatoes, chopped.
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning 
1/4 teaspoon onion salt 
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

In a large skillet, saute garlic in oil. Add zucchini; cook and stir for 4-5 minutes or until crisp-tender.


Stir in the tomatoes, and then seasonings. Simmer, uncovered, for 9-10 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and mixture is heated through.



 Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and then serve over pasta (penne, angel hair, or whichever you desire). Yield: 6 servings.
