Summertime Pasta


 Every afternoon this week we have been going to our HOA pool.  We play until about 5:00 p.m. and then hurry home to make dinner.  I have had to seriously "wing it" this week for meals.  This is one I made that turned out pretty darn good!  We have an onslaught of tomatoes and zucchini, so this made for a very easy and cheap meal!  I hope you enjoy!

Summertime Pasta

1 bag or box of whole grain noodles (any variety will work)
1-2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 zucchini diced
4-5 tomatoes quartered and sliced
1 tablespoon oregano, fresh or dried
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder

Cook noodles according to instructions on the box or bag.  In a large skillet, saute zucchini and spices in coconut oil until zucchini is tender.  Add tomatoes and heat through.  Drain pasta and toss with veggies.  Serve hot or cold.

My kids loved the leftovers cold!!
