  • 10 ounce-weight pasta, cavatelli or other medium-size pasta (3 1/2 cups)
  • 1 tbsp oil, olive, extra virgin
  • 2 onions sliced
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 zucchini squash halved lengthwise and sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tbsp water, tap
  • 2 tbsp vinegar, balsamic
  • 1 tbsp thyme, fresh (or 1 tsp. dried, crushed)
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts or chopped walnuts, toasted

Recipe Method

1. Cook pasta according to package directions, except omit any oil or salt. Drain. Return pasta to hot saucepan; cover and keep warm.

2. Meanwhile in a heavy nonstick large skillet heat oil over medium-low heat. Add onions; cover and cook for 13 to 15 minutes or until onions are tender. Sprinkle with sugar. Cook and stir uncovered, over medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes more until onion is golden brown.

3. Add zucchini and garlic to onions in pan. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Stir in the water, balsamic vinegar and dried thyme (if using). Cook for 2 to 3 minutes more until zucchini is crisp-tender, stirring occasionally.

4. Add zucchine mixture, nut and fresh thyme (if using) to cooked pasta; gently toss to combine.
