In the late summer and early fall, zucchinis come into their own at farmers’ markets, as do juicy tomatoes and aromatic fresh herbs such as basil.
Here’s a quick, easy recipe based on the classic pomodoro... pasta. For this recipe be sure to buy the small, firm zucchini for this delicious summer pasta dinner.
Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that helps to prevent free radicals from causing damage to our cells, which can lead to the development of chronic disease. Tomatoes are also good sources of vitamin C and vitamin K. Ramp up the fiber, vitamins, and minerals of this sauce by adding a few shredded carrots, including their peels.
