Zucchini Linguine Alla Marinara
Wonderful dish for a quick dinner. It’s easy to make, flavorful and light. Great vegetarian or meatless Monday option. You will love it so much you may not even miss the pasta. Use the best Parmigiano-Reggiano you can get and fresh basil. We cheated a little for the sake of time with Mario Batali marinara sauce, it is by far the best sauce we have found in a jar! For extra protein you may add ground meat or ground turkey to the marinara.
