....is Vegetable Papparadelle

One of my favorite dinners is a simple Pasta with fresh vegetables. Trade Joe's makes some great dried noodles, I use their Spinach Linguine for the Green Goddess,  but I only recently noticed they have a Lemon Pepper Papparadelle. It's a nice thick noodle & holds flavor well.

As for my chosen Vegetables, it muct be peak season for Zucchini because I found one about 3 times the size of normal. And, while I think California usually gets great Tomatoes, they are especcialy sweet this time of year.

This recipe has a bit of chopping for prep but most of the cooking can be done in the time it takes to boil the Pasta. Replace with your favorite veggies & let me know how it goes!

12 oz. Lemon & Pepper Papparadelle

2-3 Tbsp Olive Oil, Dvidied

1/2 Onion, Thinly Sliced

2 Cloves of Garlic, Minced

1/4 Cup White Wine to Deglaze the Pan
