Quick, easy and delicious, I used basil from the garden and I always tend to have zucchini since it seems to be available all year round (here) and quite inexpensive. Lovely pasta dish for an excellenet midweek suppwer, particularly when I had come home quite late and it was good to put supper on the table in no time at all! Thank you Karen, made for PAC Spring 2013

Oh Karen Pea - this is so delicious!! DH and I made it for dinner and had a difficult time not eating all four servings between us. It was simple to prepare yet the flavors were complex and the ingredients worked so well together. DH has already asked me to make it again. Thanks for a winner!!
