This was a quick throw everything together kind of dinner tonight. We can call it Meatless Fast Dinner Friday! Bonus I received this free box of pasta from Natures Legacy this past week at work! I like how this spelt pasta only takes 5 minutes to cook! I love saving time in the kitchen. 

Ingredients:

Cannelloni Beans, 1 can rinsed and drained 

1 box 8oz  of  Tri Color Spelt Ronini

1/3 cup shredded Parm Cheese

1/4 tsp red pepper flake

2 TB olive oil or canola oil

1 small zucchini quartered and chopped 

4 extra large garlic cloves, chopped finely

Cracked Red Pepper to taste

2 tb  fresh lemon juice

1/4 tsp lemon zest

4 fresh basil leaves, chopped
Directions:

1. Cook pasta according to packaging. Strain and set aside.

2. In a sauté pan, sauté up the olive oil and garlic. Cook the garlic until lightly browned. Add in the zucchini, sauté until it reaches your desired texture. I prefer my zucchini more firm than soft, so I only cooked mine for a minute or two. Season with freshly ground pepper to taste. 

3. Once the zucchini has Reached the tenderness you desire add in the beans and cooked pasta. Sprinkle the zest and pour in the lemon juice over the pasta.  Stir well with rubber spatula. 

4. Fold in the parm cheese, and lastly season with red pepper flake and garnish with basil.

Enjoy!
