Zucchini Pasta with goat cheese

Zucchini Pasta
Zucchini Pasta with goat cheese

3 or 4 zucchinis or summer squash sliced thinly

5 cloves of fresh garlic

olive oil

desired amount of any type of onion

desired amount of fresh parsley and basil

whole wheat pasta (or any other type you want)

1 large can of no salt added tomato sauce

fresh tomatoes or 1 can or no salt added diced tomatoes

1 or 2 small cans of no salt added tomato paste (depends on how thick you want the sauce)

1 cup of pesto sauce

desired amount of salt-free Italian seasoning spice

1 half log of goat cheese

Boil the water on the stove and add pasta.

Mince or chop the garlic.

Cut the onions, tomatoes, and zucchinis or summer squash.

In a wok or frying pan, add olive oil and brown the garlic, parsley, basil and onions.

Once brown, add the zucchinis or summer squash and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender.

In a bowl mix tomato sauce, cut or diced tomatoes, tomato paste, pesto and goat cheese. Add this to the wok. If you use fresh tomatoes allow enough time to heat the tomatoes. Cook enough to allow the goat cheese to melt.

Add pasta and heat for a couple of minutes. Then serve.

I really like making my own sauce because I can control the amount of sodium in it.
