Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 chicken breast, diced

1 teaspoon dried basil
2 zucchinis, peeled
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup chicken broth
½ cup greek yogurt
½ cup parmesan cheese, grated
½ teaspoon dried basil

  • Use a peeler to thinly slice zucchini into "linguini" noodles. Set aside in a bowl and mix with salt. Let sit for 20 minutes to draw moisture out of the noodles. Drain the zucchini with a clean dish cloth or paper towels.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add in chicken breast, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook until no longer pink. Add in zucchini noodles, cherry tomatoes, and dried basil. Cook for an additional minute and remove from heat. Set aside in a bowl.
  • Heat olive oil for for the creamy sauce in the skillet. Add in garlic cloves and cook for about 30 seconds. Add in chicken broth to cool skillet, and reduce heat to low. (This step is important: if skillet is too hot, the Greek yogurt will curdle, so allow it to cool down before adding it in).

TOMATO AND CREAM PASTA SAUCE



Tomato and Cream Pasta Sauce image

Who says pasta sauce has to take a long time to make or involve a lot of ingredients? I made this to be a compromise between my husband's love of red sauces and my love of white sauces. I also wanted something that was not as fattening as white sauces tend to be. Don't get me wrong, with the use of real butter and cream there is still plenty of fat. But hey, what can I say? I am just that kinda girl. I think this sauce could be adaptable to have more veggies in it (mushrooms, artichokes) and even some meat if desired. Amount of servings is an estimate. I don't like a lot of sauce, but my husband likes to drown his pasta.

ROASTED ZUCCHINI AND TOMATO PASTA



Roasted Zucchini and Tomato Pasta image

Roasting the zucchini and tomatoes rather than sauteing them intensifies their flavor.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Pasta and Grains

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 pounds zucchini, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 1/2 pounds plum tomatoes, cut into 3/4-inch chunks
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
5 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 pound long fusilli or linquine
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. On rimmed baking sheet, toss zucchini, tomatoes, and garlic with 5 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Spread into single layer; roast until zucchini is lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • In large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente, about 12 minutes. Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water. Return pasta to pot. Toss with remaining tablespoon oil; cover.
  • Pour reserved pasta water onto baking sheet of cooked vegetables; scrape with a wooden spoon to loosen browned bits. Stir vegetables and juices into pasta. Add parsley and Parmesan; toss to combine. Serve with more Parmesan.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh tomatoes and zucchini are essential for this recipe. If you can, try to get them from a local farmer's market or organic grocery store.
  • Don't overcook the zucchini: Zucchini cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately, while the pasta is still hot and the sauce is creamy.

Conclusion:

This pasta with tomato, zucchini, and cream sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of fresh tomatoes, zucchini, and cream creates a flavorful and creamy sauce that is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve with a side of crusty bread to soak up all the delicious sauce.
