Little did I know that today I'd make some really awesome pasta when I got up this morning. Sometimes I just look into the fridge and try to come up with something "new and fancy" with what's in there. Same today...
Creamy Zucchini-Pasta
Ingredients (for 2 servings):
- ~250g Pasta (Fettuccine or something similar)
- 1 small Zucchini (150g-200g)
- 10 Cherry-Tomatoes
- 1 small Onion
- 3 cloves of garlic
- some triple-concentrated tomatoe paste
- some Soymilk (or any other plant based milk)
- Salt, Pepper, Basil
- Olive-Oil (or any other plant based oil)
For starters heat up some water for the pasta and prepare all the vegetables: Cut the zucchini into fingerlong stripes, quarter the tomatoes and cube the onion and garlic. Once the water is hot, cook the pasta like you always do... Meanwhile the vegetables should look similar to this:

| All cut up and ready to get"processed" |
That done heat the oil in a pan and start frying the tomato pieces. The reason to start with them is that you basically want them to "dissolve" into the rest of the sauce.
Alright so, after frying them for a minute or two add the onion and garlic and fry for another few minutes until translucent.
Then add the zucchini, turn down the heat a bit and season everything with basil, pepper and a good amount of salt. You can probably use more salt than you would normally since the soymilk will neutralize some of it later on. Once seasoned, mix it up a bit, cover the pan and let the zucchini steam for about 5 minutes.

| Already looks delicious... |
After those 5 minutes the zucchini stripes should be soft and "pasta-like". Now add about a tablespoon of tomato-paste and soymilk until everything is almost covered. After some more stiring, cover the pan again and let it boil down until you've got a nice sauce.
Take the pan from the stove, add the pasta and mix everything... And thaaaat's about it.
All that is left to do is EAT IT! So bon appetit and...
See y'all 'round!
