My husband and I planted a garden this year. Okay, he planted it, weeded it, and watered it, and I figured out what to do with the harvest.
We both love zucchini and we both love pasta so when I stumble across this recipe just after picking several nice sized squash, it seemed like destiny.
8 ounces penne pasta
1lb boneless skinless chicken breast seasoned, grilled, and
shredded.
1 pound zucchini, cut into ½-inch-thick slices and halved.
1 tablespoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pound plum tomatoes, chopped
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 clove garlic, grated
½ teaspoon ground pepper
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
Cook pasta according package directions.
Brush zucchini with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and sauté for
8-10 minutes, then sprinkle with basil.
Toss tomatoes with 3 tablespoons oil, oregano, garlic, pepper,
crushed red pepper, and ¼ teaspoon salt in a large bowl
Combine shredded chicken, zucchini, and pasta.
Divide into four plates, top with tomato mixture, then sprinkle
with feta cheese.
OUT NOW: A CALL TO CHARMS (FIRST IN THE FOREVER CHARMED MYSTERY SERIES)
A Call to Charms
Chocolate, men, and magic. Who can turn down
that inheritance?
If life had gone as she planned, Lexie Green
would have been teaching English at a prestigious university, not persuading
spoiled, rich women to buy overpriced clothes they didn’t need and often looked
ridiculous wearing. Can you say electric yellow see-through skirts and Torn
jeans with unfinished hems?
Still, although this isn’t the life Lexie would have chosen, all is going well.
At least until Lexie is fired and her deranged ex-boyfriend tries to kidnap
her.
Deciding that it’s better to accept a mysterious inheritance from a great aunt
she’s never heard of rather than end up kept in a cage as her ex’s pet poodle,
Lexie packs up and heads to Kansas. So, what if she has to go by a new name and
live in a town that she can’t find on a map?
Unfortunately, once she arrives in her new hometown, everyone there seems just
a tad off-kilter and Lexie’s cousin insists that the citizens are magical. At
least there are a couple of hot guys hanging around for eye candy.
Even though Lexie doesn’t believe the nonsense about her being the Ravenscraft
Shield, she does believe her father was murdered—a father she never knew
existed, and she investigates his death.
Too bad, whoever killed her father, now wants Lexie dead as
well.
