Hello! I can't believe it has been two weeks since I posted. Too long. I blame it on being sick a week and then on vacation in Maine all last week. But I am back and ready to post!
Tonight I made a simple, but delicious dish. Pasta with sauteed zucchini and feta cheese. Yummy. I got this recipe from my mom who made it for me while on vacation. She said she got it from her friend when she was visiting in Maine and she got it from her daughter. So no written recipe for this or other blog post to send you to.
So ingredients. Only 4, as shown below. Feta, olive oil, pasta, and zucchini. The little zucchini came from my garden! The second vegetable (after lettuce) that I have harvested and eaten. Very exciting. I used thick spaghetti. When my mom made it she used angel hair and I preferred that. But you gotta work with what you have on hand. Finally, when people have made it in the past they used part butter, part olive oil to saute. I used all olive oil, about a tablespoon.
First step, chop up the zucchini. This is about how much I got from one big and one little zucchini. I wanted plenty for dinner and leftovers. It turns out I could have cut these a bit thinner, but it still turned out well.
I got some water boiling for the pasta and the oil in a pan warming.
I added the zucchini to the pan and sauteed for about 10-15 minutes. It probably wouldn't have taken so long if I had cut everything thinner. While this was going I was also cooking the pasta.
This is what it looked like when it was all done. Some looks over cooked, but it really tasted delicious this way.
I then added the feta right to the pan, but not right after turning off the heat. I didn't want to melt the cheese totally, so I waited for the pan and zucchini to cool down a bit first.
Finally, I added the drained pasta right to the pan and tossed everything together.
This turned out very well and I am super happy to have leftovers for the next few days!
Once again, sorry for the lack in posting the last few weeks. I promise to get back on top of things and keep cooking and posting. I also hope to have many more posts soon about using all the vegetables coming out of my garden! There are so many tomatoes and cucumbers almost ready! Super excited.
As always, thanks for reading and look for more soon.
