Instructions

Pasta

  • 12 ounces gluten-free pasta
  • 6 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 cups zucchini cubed
  • 1 red bell pepper cubed

  1. Prepare the tomato sauce by combining garlic-infused oil, crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, and salt and pepper. Heat over medium-high heat and cook for about 20-30 minutes. Stir often to prevent scorching or sticking. Remove from heat and adjust seasonings as desired.
