I just made pasta and a salad tonight. Had a root canal today and didn't feel like cooking anything where teeth were necessary.:D

More than likely some sauteed chicken tenders, butter beans, and a brown rice/broccoli/cheese casserole.

Crab legs and this:
Peppery Zucchini Pasta
Prep time: 10 minutes | Cook time: 20 minutes | Serves: 4 (1 1/2-cup)

Details:
When zucchini and summer squash fill the garden, we turn to this flavorful pasta dish, which can easily be doubled or tripled for a big outdoor gathering. In place of basil, try fresh cilantro, mint, regular chives, or garlic chives. (Phase 2)

Ingredients:
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 peperoncini (from a jar), minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces whole-wheat penne pasta
1 large zucchini, shredded
2 ounces reduced-fat goat cheese, crumbled (1/3 cup)
1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

Nutritional Information:
260 calories
5 g fat (1.5 g sat)
46 g carbohydrate
13 g protein
6 g fiber
400 mg sodium

Directions:
In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic, reduce the heat to medium, and cook, stirring frequently, until onion is softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
Add remaining 1 teaspoon oil, pepperoncini, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes to flavor the oil. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserving 2 tablespoons of pasta cooking liquid, drain pasta.
Add pasta, reserved pasta cooking liquid, zucchini, cheese, tomatoes, and basil to skillet; toss to combine. Cook over medium heat until pasta is just heated through and cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with additional pepper to taste and serve warm.

Except I left out the peperoncini, used whole wheat spaghetti instead of penne pasta, used green onions since I had them on hand and they needed to be used, and used feta cheese and a little shredded parmesan b/c I don't like goat cheese. So, umm, yeah...basically I changed most of the recipe, LOL
