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?)
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!
