Amanda, I made my go-to healthy pasta tonight. It's kid friendly and easy as can be. I found it years ago while searching to get greens into my kids and now it's a staple. I tweaked it a bit to suit our tastes.
Pasta con zucchini
2 zucchini
2 tbsp basil
zest from one lemon
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves minced garlic
box of penne
salt to taste
Grate zucchini and squeeze to remove excess water. Meanwhile heat oil and garlic on low. Add lemon zest after a minute. Add zucchini and basil. Heat water to boil and cook penne al dente. Strain and combine pasta with zucchini
