Herbed Zucchini & Bowties

Makes 4 servings

2 T. butter

6 T. oil, divided

1 onion, chopped

1 clove garlic, chopped

1 green pepper, diced

3 zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced

1 t. dried parsley

1 t. dried rosemary

1 t. dried basil

16-oz. pkg. bowtie pasta, cooked

1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese

In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter with 2 tablespoons oil. Add onion and garlic; sauté for 5 minutes. Stir in green pepper; sauté for an additional 3 minutes. Stir in zucchini and herbs; cover and cook over low heat for 5 to 8 minutes, until zucchini is tender. Add remaining oil; toss with bowties. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Serve pasta in a warmed serving bowl…a nice touch. Simply set a colander over the bowl in the sink. Drain pasta and let stand for a minute, then toss out the water in the bowl and fill with hot pasta and sauce.
