Zucchini Linguine image

Like many gardeners, I am overwhelmed with zucchini in the summer. I wanted a different way to serve them, that didn't use a lot of cheese to build flavor. You could make this using different pasta shapes, but if you do I suggest cutting the zucchini to similar size and shape. For example, if making with little shells, cut the zucchini is small dice. Portions based on serving as a side dish, but could also be a vegan main dish - in which case, serves 2. Feel free to serve with grated parmesan if you like, but we like it just fine without.
