Baby Shells with Zucchini

Ever get tired thinking of what to make for dinner?  Here is a simple recipe to prepare and very tasty.  This recipe was given to me by my aunt and it's been a hit at my home.

Baby Shells with Zucchini
(Serving:  4 persons)

4 Zucchinis, washed, ends removed and cut into small cubes
1 crushed garlic clove (or 2 whatever your taste)
NOTE:  If you have home made pesto (basil & garlic), then omit the crushed garlic above and and about 2 tsp of your home made pesto
Salt to taste
Black Pepper to taste
Pecorino Cheese
Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Place oil in a pan big enough to add your pasta once cooked.  Heat at medium heat, add zucchinis, garlic (or pesto), salt and ground pepper to taste and sautee until the zucchinis are cooked.  About 5 to 10 minutes.  Set aside.

Fill pan with water, add 1 tsp of salt and bring to boil.  Add pasta (baby shells) enough for 4 people (about 1/2 package) and let cook until ardente.  Drain pasta in strainer and add to your zucchini mixture.  Add grated pecorino cheese and parmesan cheese and gently stir.  Dinner is ready.  Enjoy.
