Roasted Tomato Zucchini Pasta 

If you are a big pasta lover but trying to cut back on pasta than you will love this Roasted Tomato Zucchini Pasta recipe. 

As much as I love pasta, it certainly does NOT love me. So I do avoid it as much as possible. With that said I am always open to different forms of pasta such as zucchini pasta. I must say, it satisfies my pasta cravings every time. Especially with the roasted tomatoes on top. 

The aromas that come from this Roasted Tomato Zucchini Pasta dish are simply delightful. It reminds me of my Nonna making fresh sauce on Sunday. 

I love to top it with parmesan cheese just like I would pasta. However, those who are dairy-free can easily use nutritional yeast or other substitutes. 

Best of all this recipe is super easy to make with minimal ingredients. I was even able to trick my kids into thinking they are eating pasta but getting their veggies in instead.

2 large Zucchinis 

1 clove garlic

1 TBSP olive oil
