About

If you adore pasta dishes, then this recipe is a show-stopper bursting with health and character. I typically cook it with quinoa spaghetti, but feel free to use your favorite type of pasta. The ripest tomatoes are a must, as they’re crucial to the flavor of the dish. This is a light recipe with a generous amount of shaved zucchini, making it an irresistible combination of herbs, nuts and vegetables.
