1 clove garlic, minced
1 stalk celery, optional
1-2 scallions, optional
2 medium zucchini, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup white wine, optional
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1 package (8-9 ounce) tortellini or small ravioli
fresh basil, chopped, to taste
1. Start boiling water for pasta. In a frying pan, saute garlic, celery and scallions, if using in olive oil, then add the zucchini. Stir frequently.
2. When zucchini looks like it's getting soft, add vegan white wine, if using, and balsamic vinegar. Lower heat and let sit to absorb the flavors; stir occasionally.
3. Add pasta to boiling water. When done, drain and add to simmering zucchini pan. Stir and serve hot or cold or let simmer for a while longer.
4. Garnish with fresh basil.
