Being Sick Sucks

I'm sorry I disappeared for awhile. Basically my home computer crashed and I got super sick last week. So not only could I not get on the Internet at home, I was too sick to go use WiFi in public. :( I did manage to eat two entire boxes of Key Lime Cuties, which are so addicting it's not even funny.
On a positive note, I created a dinner that my brother fully enjoyed! I even have my own recipe to share with you! Before I indulge you with my delish recipe, I'll give you a little back story of where it came from. My dad and brother are both in Boy Scouts, so once a month they leave for a weekend camping trip. On the weekends they were gone my mom and I always made zucchini spaghetti. I don't remember where the recipe actually came from, but we only made it when it was just the girls at the house. Sadly it was full of cheese, so while I was sick I made this vegan version to satisfy my comfort food needs! Enjoy

Zucchini Pasta

1 small Shallot, thinly sliced
1 or 2 Garlic Cloves, minced 
2 small Zucchini, shredded (or one large)
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
2-3 cups Pasta, cooked and drained ( I like linguine)
Sea Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
Vegan Parmesan, to taste (like Parma!)

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and shallots and saute for about one minute. Add zucchini and continue to saute until zucchini starts to soften. Stir in pasta, salt, and pepper, and divide into two bowls. Top with Parmesan and enjoy!

Serves 2
