Spaghetti with Yellow Zucchini Mushroom and Tomatoes


This is a great summer pasta when produce is plentiful and fresh.

2 tbsp Olive Oil
2 cloves garlic finely chopped
1 medium yellow onion halved then sliced
1 handful of mushrooms sliced
1 Yellow zucchini sliced into ½ inch pieces
One 350 ml package of spaghetti (I like corn flour spaghetti because of the yellow colour)
Salt and Pepper
150 ml cream

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. When the water is rapidly boiling put in the spaghetti and cook according to the instructions.
Heat a large saucepan and when it is hot, add the oil and the garlic
Just as the garlic begins to brown, add the onion
As the onion begins to turn translucent add the mushrooms
Stir often
Add the zucchini as the mushroom soften
When the spaghetti is ready add about a cup of the cooking water to the saucepan with the vegetables
Stir then add the cream
Drain the pasta and add it to the vegetable mixture and stir to coat it well with the sauce
Divide it up and enjoy
This will serve 4 to 6 people depending on appetites
