This Abundant Crop Recipe is a total Megan Nadalet creation. Here is the post as I wrote it, back in July 2009:

Yummy zucchini pasta!
We eat a lot of pasta in Casa Nadalet. It is our go-to meal because it is so incredibly simple! You boil water, add dry pasta, heat up sauce and combine! While that is enough for me, my love wants a more filling meal. So I usually brown some ground beef and add that to pasta sauce. But it gets really expensive to eat meat for every meal. I tried browning zucchini and onion together, instead of ground beef, to make this dish more filling. Matthew actually liked it.
Zucchini Pasta
- First, boil some water and cook a package (1 pound) of pasta. If this is a meal for 2, it ensures leftovers for work the next day.
- While that is cooking, chop up half of a zucchini and half of an onion. Pour a little olive oil (or EVOO as Rachel Ray says) into a deep skillet and get that warmed up. Brown the zucchini and onion. Decide if you need more veggies. You could add bell peppers or broccoli or more zucchini — it is up to you.
- Once brown, add a little red wine and reduce. Then add milk (between 1/2 and 1 cup) stirring constantly so as not to burn it. Add cheese and whatever spices your little heart desires. I bet you thought I added Cajon Seasoning, right? Nope! I made up my own spice blend (minor alterations to that blend) that Matt loves even more than Cajon Seasoning. Keep adding things until it tastes right.
- If it seems too thin, try adding a bit of flour. Strain your pasta and top with sauce and more cheese.
This was pretty tasty, but I would make a few adjustments next time. I would remove the zucchini and onion after browning, add flour to thicken, and then the red wine and eventually milk. I would put the zucchini and onion back in after that. This would make for a thicker sauce.

Interesting!! My bf and I make pasta all the time too, it seems
I’ll have to give that a try!
