Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cloves garlic -- minced

1 small zucchini

cut in half lengthwise

and sliced into thin crescents

2 ounces cremini or Italian mushrooms -- sliced

2 ounces oyster mushrooms -- sliced

1 small portobello mushroom cap -- sliced

4 large ripe tomatoes -- diced

1 teaspoon oregano

1 teaspoon basil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon sugar

8 ounces bow-tie pasta -- farfalle, up to 12

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

2 ounces crumbled feta cheese

or grated Parmesan cheese

8 basil leaves -- up to 12

(optional garnish)

 

Makes 2 servings.

 

In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic,

zucchini, and all the mushrooms and cook, stirring, for 5 to 7 minutes.

 

Add the tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and sugar, and cook for

about 10 to 15 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring frequently. Set

aside for 10 minutes before serving.

 

Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente,

abut 9 to 12 minutes. Drain, and transfer the pasta to a large serving

bowl and cover until ready to serve.

 

To serve, spoon the sauce over the pasta and sprinkle the parsley and

cheese over the top. Garnish the edge of the plates with basil leaves if

desired.

 

Helpful hint: Although ripe tomatoes and fresh basil are hard to find in

the middle of winter, they are worth the hunt for this special occasion.
