Prepare pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic & zucchini. Saute until tender. Add tomatoes with juices and the herbs. Allow to cook a few minutes longer to combine flavors and to reach desired consistency. Stir in prepared pasta. Salt & pepper if desired.This is my basic stand-by pasta for busy nights. I often add other ingredients on hand such as black beans or other in-season vegetables, or left-over chicken, although the basic recipe is delicious as is.
