Description
A delicious pasta
Ingredients
- 3 T Pine nuts, roasted
- 4 oz Linguine
- 2 T Extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 clv Garlic, peeled
- 1⁄2 White onion, chopped
- 3 Zucchini, sliced crosswise
- 3 4⁄5 oz Sliced black olives
- 3⁄4 t Dried oregano
- 1⁄4 t Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1⁄4 c Breadcrumbs, toasted
Instructions
You'll also need a couple tablespoons of course salt.
1. Fill a 10-quart stockpot with 7 quarts water and bring to a boil over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons coarse salt. Add pasta, stir until water returns to a boil, and cook pasta, according to package directions, until al dente.
2. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add oil and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until garlic is lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add onion and zucchini and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add olives, oregano, and red pepper flakes; season with salt to taste.
3. Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water. Add pasta to skillet and toss to combine. If pasta seems dry, add reserved cooking water 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing between each addition. Transfer pasta to a large platter, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with bread crumbs; serve immediately.
Notes
The bread crumbs are used in the place of grated Parmesan cheese.

This looks like it's easy to make
I'm going to try this recipe tonight Glen. I'm not much of a cook, but I'm gonna invite a special friend over and have this with some nice wine. I think I'll go ahead and get some Parmesan cheese though. I'm picturing it with both the bread crumbs and the cheese. What is "Parmesan" anyway? I've had it many times, just never thought to ask what Parmesan means, but then I don't know what chedder means either - Ha!
