Recipe: Angel's Pasta

This is a great recipe we've made twice in the last few days to use up the fresh zucchini and tomatoes from my dad's garden. The picture is over to the left.

INGREDIENTS

8 ounces angel hair pasta
1 tablespoon crushed garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 zucchini, sliced
salt and pepper to taste
3 tomatoes, chopped
12 leaves fresh basil
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded

DIRECTIONS

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
Meanwhile, heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Pour in oil and saute garlic until golden. Stir in zucchini, salt and pepper. Saute 2 minutes, then mix in tomato and cook a few minutes more. Chop basil and add to vegetables right before mixing with pasta.
Combine pasta and vegetables. Serve topped with mozzarella.

MEL stands for McCasland, Elder and Lazan. Basically meaning my side of the family. This year we went up to Brainerd, MN to stay in a cabin and enjoy time away from the real world. The place we stayed was perfect. It was two townhomes that were connected so McCaslands and Elders on one side while the Lazans had the other (since they're a bigger family). The weekend was spent playing badmitton, tubing on the lake, pontooning, jetskiing, shopping, playing lots of games (especially Killer Bunnies), spending time at the beach, watching the Olympics and of course eating good food and relaxing with family. Scott spent a lot of the time taking pictures. Next year we'll be doing about the same thing, staying at a cabin on the lake.
