IMG_1242I 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 9×13 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.
