Penne with Zucchini & Oregano

Make a heartier dish with the addition of spicy sausage, or strips of chicken breast. Bring up the spicy-heat level with 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes.

Cooking Instructions:

  • 12-ounce box Lundberg Penne Brown Rice Pasta, cooked al dente and drizzled with olive oil, and kept warm
  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 large zucchini, cut lengthwise, and then thinly sliced
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh oregano minces
  • 1/2 cup grated Romano or Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add zucchini and sauté until tender and browned. Stir in garlic and oregano and remove from heat. Add 1/2 cup Romano to warm pasta, and toss gently until cheese is melted. Add zucchini mixture to Penne; garnish with additional grated Romano. Serve with freshly ground pepper. Serves 4.
