Grilled Zucchini with Penne


Ingredients:

4 zucchini – sliced ¼ inch thick
2 fresh tomatoes – quartered
1 sweet onion – sliced
5 cloves garlic – crushed & coarsely chopped
1 bunch fresh basil
Red pepper flakes
Dried oregano
Olive oil
Romano Cheese for grating
Penne Macaroni or your favorite

Heat your griddle and place zucchini slices on the heated griddle. Drizzle a little olive oil over the zucchini and dust with the dried oregano. Let the zucchini become golden on one side and then flip. Continue this process with the onions, garlic and last the tomatoes. Finally place the basil on the griddle, drizzle a little olive oil and let the basil become slightly crispy. Place the vegetables in a serving bowl and sprinkle a few dashes of red pepper flakes.

Prepare the macaroni as directed, drain and add to the grilled veggies. Drizzle a little more olive oil some more red pepper and then Romano Cheese for the finish.

This is a light and delicious way to serve up your summer vegetables!

Lots and Lots of Summer Love,
