Ingredients

    Pasta, cooked, 16 oz
    Zucchini, baby, 3 medium
    Olive Oil, .5 cup
    Garlic, 4 cloves
    Goat Cheese, Soft, 4 oz
    Parsley, dried, 2 tbsp
    Basil, 2 tbsp
    *Bell Pepper, Red - 1 Cup, Chopped, 1 cup

Tips

Break up goat cheese before adding.


Directions

Sauce:
Cut the zucchini into small matchsticks. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. In a large frying pan over medium-low heat, warm the oil. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Raise the heat to medium-high, add the zucchini and pepper, and saute until light browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, add 1 tsp salt and the goat cheese, and toss to combine.
Cook the pasta:
Meanwhile, add 2 tbsp salt and the pasta to the boiling water (recommended: fusilli or rotini). Cook, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until al dente, according to the package directions. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup (4 fl oz/125 ml) of the cooking water. Add the pasta to the sauce along with the herbs and a generous amount of pepper. Toss to combine. Add as much of the cooking water as needed to loosen the sauce and serve.
