Easy Zucchini Tomato Pasta
My youngest loves everything Italian, with spaghetti dishes being number one. If I put a pot of spaghetti with broccoli, ground beef, bacon, or quick spaghetti bolognese on the table, his plate is empty in no time. This recipe is fast, easy, and with creamy pasta, but simple and pure in taste.
The star of this dish is the zucchini. And many people find zucchini tasteless. But by frying the zucchini and seasoning it with delicious herbs, you will see that the opposite applies to this spaghetti with tomato and zucchini.
