Vegetable Pasta Toss

I have found that Danny will eat any shape of pasta and will gobble up just about every type of pasta dish I make. This pasta toss is quick and easy and something the whole family can enjoy. I used 2 cloves of garlic but you can certainly use more or less. I would have topped this with some freshly grated Parmesan cheese if I had any but oops!!!!!   I forgot to put it on the shopping list.  Oh well, there's always next time.  Just pretend there is some grated cheese on there!

Olive oil

1 small onion, chopped

2 cloves of garlic, minced

1 zucchini, diced

1/2 cup sliced mushrooms

2 plum tomatoes, diced

Several leaves of fresh basil, chopped

8 oz of any shaped pasta, cooked(I like to use twists...very kid friendly)

Add olive oil to large skillet(I do 2 turns around the pan) and heat. Add onion and garlic and cook over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Add zucchini and mushrooms and cook for about 5-6 minutes or until zucchini is tender. Stir in tomatoes and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Stir in pasta and basil. Stir well before removing from stove to ensure pasta is evenly coated.

As you can see, this pasta dish made Danny very happy.   That's our dog's nose on the bottom corner.   Murphy was hoping that Danny would throw some to him.   Alas, poor Murphy went hungry this time.   

This made 3 adult sized servings and 2 toddler sized servings.
