Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb linguini
  • 2 ½ tablespoons avocado oil
  • 2 zucchini, one green and one yellow or a yellow squash, thinly sliced
  • 1 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can Great Northern beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons McCormick Gourmet™ Organic Oregano, plus additional for sprinkling
  • 2 teaspoons McCormick Gourmet™ Organic Basil, plus additional for sprinkling
  • 1 teaspoon McCormick Gourmet™ Organic Thyme, plus additional for sprinkling
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon dried red pepper
  • black pepper to tase

Instructions
 

  • Boil a large pot of water for linguine.
  • In a large sauté pan, add ½ tablespoon avocado oil and turn to medium high heat. When oil is warmed, add the thinly sliced zucchini. Sprinkle with black pepper, oregano, basil and thyme. Sauté for 8 minutes or until tender. Remove from pan, place in a bowl and lightly salt the zucchini.
  • Add 1 tablespoon avocado oil to the empty pan and add the diced onion. Saute for five minutes or until translucent and add minced garlic. Saute for one minute.
  • Add all of the sauce ingredients, crushed tomatoes, beans, cherry tomatoes (cut in half), oregano, basil, thyme, sea salt, red pepper flakes. Stir and let simmer and cook on low to medium heat. In the meantime, your water should be ready to add the noodles. Add the noodles to the boiling water. Noodle should take 11-12 minutes, check package for exact timing. Simmer sauce for 15 minutes. This recipe makes a thick, hearty sauce. If you like your sauce thinner, reserve 1/4 - 1/2 cup of cooking water from the pasta and slowly stir it in to your sauce til you get the desired consistency.
  • To serve, top linguini noodles with sauce and sautéed zucchini.
