Instructions

Cook pasta al dente in a pot of boiling salted water, according to package directions. Reserve ¼ cup of pasta water.
Add two tablespoons of olive oil to a large skillet on medium heat. Sauté the diced zucchini until golden on the edges. Remove the zucchini to a plate and set aside.
To the same skillet, add the cherry tomatoes, garlic, and seasoning. Cook down for 3-4 minutes or until the tomatoes are softened. Add the reserved pasta water and cook down for another 2-3 minutes.
Add the cooked pasta and parmesan cheese and give it a good stir. Top with the cooked zucchini and basil and gently stir to combine.
Garnish with more parmesan cheese and basil if desired and serve immediately!
