2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 lb bow tie pasta

  • Add mozzarella cheese and allow to melt.

  • I often make this recipe as three separate pieces -- pasta, veggies and cheese, and let each of us assemble our own. In addition, I also will marinade a chicken breast in Italian salad dressing and then cook it up in strips or cubes and add to this delicious goodness.

Tips:

  • Slice the zucchini and mushrooms thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too much zucchini and mushrooms at once, they will steam instead of sautéing.
  • Cook the zucchini and mushrooms in batches: If you have a lot of zucchini and mushrooms, cook them in batches so that they don't overcrowd the pan.
  • Season the zucchini and mushrooms well: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning are all great options.
  • Add the pasta to the zucchini and mushrooms: Once the zucchini and mushrooms are cooked, add the pasta and cook it according to the package directions.
  • Stir in the sauce: Once the pasta is cooked, stir in the sauce. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
  • Garnish with Parmesan cheese: Before serving, garnish the pasta with Parmesan cheese. This will add a delicious flavor and richness.

Conclusion:

This zucchini mushroom and pasta skillet is a delicious and easy meal that is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner. It is packed with flavor and is sure to please everyone at the table.
