Ingredients

Ingredients (use vegan versions):
  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 1 clove garlic - more always an option
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
  • fresh bazil - dried spice can work
  • 1 package tortellini or small ravioli or any pasta (not long)
  • optional: 1/4 cup vegan white wine, 1 stalk celery, 1-2 scallions
Directions:

Start boiling water for pasta. Cut the zucchini into (large) bite size slices - if it''s a large zucchini slice then half or quarter. Mince garlic. Chop basil. In a frying pan saute garlic (celery and scallions) then add the zucchini. Stir frequently - best when zucchini gets a little brown. When zucchini looks like it''s getting soft add (vegan white wine and) balsamic vinegar. Lower heat and just let sit absorbing the flavors - stir occasionally. Add pasta to boiling water - when done drain and add to simmering zucchini pan Stir and serve hot or cold or let simmer for a while longer.

*optional*

Add more olive oil, balsamic, and/or dried basil. Garnish with fresh basil.
