Zucchini and Pasta

I use penne pasta because it's
easy to pick up with a fork.
This recipe is a one pot dish,
you cook the zucchini in the same
pot and along with the pasta.
It's good dressed with either butter
or a red sauce of your choice.

Ingredients:
1 medium zucchini
1/2 pound penne pasta
water
salt to taste
butter or pasta sauce
freshly grated parmesan cheese

Directions:
Put a pot of salted water to boil.
Peel six lines in the zucchini lengthwise,
this is for decoration and looks nice.
Cut up zucchini into 2" dice.
When water is boiling add penne pasta,
stir and bring back to a boil.
Add zucchini and lower heat to simmer.
Cook until pasta and zucchini are tender.
Drain and place in a large bowl.
Dress with butter or a red sauce.
Top with freshly grated parmesan cheese.
