• Add zucchini, mushrooms, onion and garlic.
• Stir-fry until the zucchini and mushrooms are just tender and the onion is tender/crisp (about 8 minutes).
• Stir in oregano and salt and pepper to taste.

ONE-PAN PASTA WITH WILD MUSHROOMS, ZUCCHINI AND BASIL

Steps:

• Heat a 13-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the oil. Add the mushrooms in batches and cook, stirring occasionally until golden brown before adding more mushrooms, 10 to 12 minutes total. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the garlic, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and the crushed red pepper flakes. Stir together.
• Add the coconut milk, water and nutritional yeast to the skillet. Stir together and taste for seasoning and add more salt or black pepper, if needed. Add the pasta and zucchini and stir, making sure the pasta is submerged in the liquid.
• Cover with the lid and simmer for 12 minutes, stirring every 3 to 4 minutes. Uncover and add the basil. Stir and simmer uncovered until the sauce has thickened and the pasta is al dente, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Scoop into small shallow bowls and top with more basil and black pepper.

SAUSAGE ZUCCHINI SKILLET

Serve with rice.

ZUCCHINI, MUSHROOM AND PASTA SKILLET

Steps:

• Saute onions, mushrooms and garlic until onions are clear. Add zucchini and cook until it is crisp-tender. Drain excess water from the skillet.
• Add mozzarella cheese and allow to melt.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions.
• Drain pasta and add 1 jar spaghetti sauce to pasta.
• Serve pasta topped with veggie mix.
• I often make this recipe as three separate pieces -- pasta, veggies and cheese, and let each of us assemble our own. In addition, I also will marinade a chicken breast in Italian salad dressing and then cook it up in strips or cubes and add to this delicious goodness.
