Ingredients

  • 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

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.
