Cheap Vegan Meals--Harvest Pasta

So...I've only posted one "Cheap Vegan Meal."


I'm such a slacker.

But I have a new one for you today! I made it up for dinner. I don't have any photos or prices to list for you, because I got most of the veggies from my garden. So my dinner was pretty much free. If you have tons of tomatoes, zucchinis, or other garden veggies hanging around you should whip this up. Pretty fast, easy and tasty, too.

Harvest Pasta

3 tablespoons olive oil
4-5 cloves of garlic, minced (seriously!)
2-3 medium sized zucchinis, chopped in half then sliced
20-25 cherry tomatoes, sliced in half or 3-4 normal tomatoes, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 can of corn (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 lb. angel hair pasta

Heat large saute pan to medium-high heat. At the same time, add enough water to a large stock pot to boil. In the saucepan, add oil, then sliced zucchinis. Let saute for about 2-3 minutes, then add garlic. Be careful not to let it burn. Let saute for about 5 more minutes. Add tomatoes, basil, oregano, salt and pepper. At this time, add angel hair pasta to boiling water and let cook until tender (angel hair cooks up pretty fast). Let saute for another 5 minutes, or until skin comes off tomatoes and they break down to form a thin sauce. Add drained can of corn (if you want to). Saute for another 3 minutes or until corn is heated through. Add drained, cooked pasta and toss to mix.
