Ingredients
6 ounces uncooked linguine
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced
1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 large tomato, chopped
2 green onions, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup shredded provolone cheese
3 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons minced fresh basil
Instructions
- Cook the linguine according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet.
- Add the sliced zucchini and mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 3-5 minutes until tender.
- Add the chopped tomato, green onions, garlic, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Add the cooked linguine to the skillet with the vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with provolone cheese, Parmesan cheese, and minced basil.
- Toss everything to coat and serve immediately.
Notes
- Add More Vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or eggplant for extra flavor and nutrients.
- Cheese Substitutes: If you don’t have provolone, mozzarella or cheddar would work well. For a dairy-free version, try using a vegan cheese alternative.
- Add Protein: To make it more filling, consider adding grilled tofu, chickpeas, or your favorite plant-based protein.
- Spicy Version: Add red pepper flakes or a diced jalapeño for a bit of heat.
