Quick Meal Idea - Zucchini Pasta

Yesterday evening I just wasn't really feeling like cooking at all!  I waited until the last possible minute to get up and go in the kitchen to make dinner.  Since I am not technically working outside the home I feel that it is nice for dinner to be ready when my husband gets home for working so hard at practice.  He is an athlete and practices twice a day.  Some nights he walks in close to 11pm.  Well I really didn't feel like hovering in the kitchen and cooking for a long time.  He had brought some zucchini home that afternoon so I decided to find a recipe that would include it.  I found one that was only rated 4 stars on allrecipes.com.  So by the advice of a friend decided to make it and turn it into a 5 star, thanks K.P. lol.  So all I basically added to the recipe online was some shredded cheese (I'm sure any kind will do use your favorite), cut a few small tomatoes up and used Italian seasoning blend.   It was a hit!  Took about 13 minutes and is including boiling the pasta and letting it simmer a little at the end.  I made enough that we had some for lunch today and with a splash of basalmic vinegar it was still very tasty!  Serve with a garden salad and crusty bread.  YUM!
