EwE - Penne with Zucchini and Mint - Spring Harvest


This week's Eating with Ellie theme is Spring Harvest, chosen by Peggy.  I can still imagine it's spring here, because the weather has for the most part remained warm, despite us being in the second month of autumn.  To that end, I thought of fresh vegetables for this theme, and settled on Ellie's Penne with Zucchini and Mint.

This pasta was a nice, meat-free meal to have for lunch or dinner.  The zucchini gave it moisture and the mint gave it some zing.  The use of wholemeal pasta provides fibre and lowers GI.

To see what the others made this week, visit the LYL section of the EwE website.

We need more meet free meals and this one sounds like it would work here. Thanks!

sounds good - though my mint is having some down time and is not that keen on coming to the party :-( It will spring back (no pun intended) - it always does

It all sounds good except i am not sure about the mint!

It sounds like one of those handy weeknight meals to have up your sleeve! :D

This does look like a great weeknight meal - and well matched to our spring :)
