Ingredients
- 12 ounces linguine
- 1 pound ground beef, turkey or chicken
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 - 2 tablespoons dried Italian seasoning
- crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 can (14 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
Here's how to make it:
- Cook the linguine according to package directions in salted water, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water. Drain and set noodles aside in a bowl.
- Brown the ground beef in the same pot. When cooked through, remove from the pot and add to the reserved pasta.
- Add the olive oil to the same pot. Cook the onion until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the zucchini and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes, if using. Season with salt and pepper. Stir.
- Add the tomatoes, soy and about half of the pasta cooking water. Bring to a simmer and cook until it begins to thicken, about 5 minutes. Taste and re-season, if necessary, and add the remaining cooking water, if desired.
- Add the pasta and Parmesan. Still to combine. Serve with extra grated Parmesan.
