Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 1 medium zucchini halved lengthwise, then sliced
  • 1 medium summer squash halved lengthwise, then sliced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¾ teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ cup tomato paste
  • 1 14.5 ounce can fire roasted diced tomatoes
  • 5 cups water
  • 1 pound dried spaghetti
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese optional
  • Fresh basil for serving

Instructions

  • In a large, deep pot, add olive oil and set over medium heat. Once sizzling, add onion, zucchini, summer squash and salt and pepper and saute for 5 minutes, or until softened.
  • Add the garlic, cherry tomatoes and Italian seasoning and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until the tomatoes start to soften.
  • Add the tomato paste, stirring to coat the vegetables, followed by the diced tomatoes and water. Bring to a boil, then add spaghetti and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook, stirring often, until the pasta is al dente and all of the liquid has been absorbed, about 12 to 14 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese. Garnish with fresh basil and more parmesan cheese, then serve.

Notes

Storage: The veggie spaghetti will last in the fridge for up to three days stored in an airtight container. To reheat it, you can do so in the microwave or in a pot on the stove. If using the stovetop, stir frequently, add a little more liquid, and cover the pot with a lid so the pasta doesn’t burn before it reheats.
