Summary

At CERES Fair Food we love celebrating good food, good reads, and good people and cultures—so of course, we’re all about PASTA. This recipe has been created using our fresh seasonal produce from Joe’s Market Garden and local growers.

Pasta Love is a beautiful cookbook by local author Jaclyn Crupi. It’s all about making, eating, and celebrating pasta the Italian way—simple, seasonal, and full of love. Now, let’s get to it!

Instructions

Bring a large pot of well salted water to the boil, slice the zucchini (medium thickness). I went with circles on this one.
Salt and place in a colander to drain. Chop the cherry tomatoes in half and place in a bowl with a clove of crushed garlic, fresh or dried oregano and chilli flakes. Add 1 tsp of salt, the red wine vinegar, olive oil and capers. Give it a good mix and sit aside to rest – infusing those flavours.Squeeze and wipe the zucchini dry. Fry the zucchini in a frying pan with olive oil until browned. Add the tomato mixture to the pan and stir. Turning off the heat. Cook the pasta until al dente and add it to the frypan. Bring the pasta and sauce together in the pan, give it a good toss and mix and serve.Don’t forget some parmesan or tasty grana padano cheese and feel free to give a little pepper if desired.Buon Appetito!!!
