Zucchini and Basil Angel Hair Pasta image

I was feeling creative while I was looking for a use for my garden fresh zucchini and I put this together for a side dish. You could also add ground turkey and make a main course! This contains 7 points on the Weight Watchers Points Plus program.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 Tbsp olive oil
2 clove minced garlic
3 Tbsp minced red onion
1/2 medium zucchini - chopped
1 qt stewed tomatoes - drained (reserve juice)
1 juice from 1 lemon
3 torn leaves of fresh basil
1/8 tsp salt or to taste
1/2 pkg multi grain angel hair pasta

Steps:

  • 1. Saute garlic, onion and zucchini in olive oil for 3 - 5 minutes.
  • 2. Add tomatoes, lemon juice, basil and salt. Simmer while cooking pasta.
  • 3. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain.
  • 4. Toss drained pasta with sauce and serve. Add grated parmesan, if desired.
  • 5. NOTE: The pasta will absorb some of the liquid of your sauce, so if your mixture gets a little dried out, you can add some of that reserved tomato juice to moisten it.
