INGREDIENTS

2 Tablespoon minced garlic
3/4 Cup thinly sliced fresh basil (3/4 cup = about 1 oz)
2 can (14.5 oz each) Hunt's® Petite Diced Tomatoes, undrained
2 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 Cup chopped yellow onion (1 cup = about 1 large)
1 dash serving Freshly shredded Parmesan cheese, optional
3 *serving (1/3 sec spray) PAM® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray
12 Ounce dry bucatini or spaghetti pasta, uncooked
2 Cup chopped red bell pepper (2 cup = about 2 large)
1/2 Cup chopped red bell pepper (2 cup = about 2 large)
1/4 Teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 Cup julienned zucchini
2 Tablespoon red wine vinegar

PREPARATION:

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, spray large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Place over medium-high heat 1 minute. Add zucchini, yellow bell pepper and salt. Cook and stir 2 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Remove from skillet; keep warm.
  2. Add oil to skillet. Add red bell pepper, onion and garlic; cook 8 to 10 minutes, or until onions are tender, stirring frequently.
  3. Add undrained tomatoes, basil and vinegar. Cook and stir 3 minutes or until hot.
  4. Serve tomato sauce over pasta. Top with reserved vegetables; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, if desired.

    Cooking Tips: To julienne vegetables, cut them into thin, match-like pieces, about 1-1/2 inches long. This can be done with a chef's knife or using a piece of equipment called a mandoline.
