Ingredients:

Serving

4 medium zucchini , halved lengthwise, seeds removed ,and sliced into 1/4 inch crescents
5 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp fennel seed
1/4 tsp powdered saffron
3 medium ripe tomatoes, seeded and chopped
salt and black pepper
1 lb angel hair pasta ( capellini)
oregano
parmesan cheese

Directions:

In a large skillet, saute garlic in olive oil for 2 minutes; add saffron and fennel seeds and saute for 1 minute more.
Add zucchini slices and stir to coat thoroughly; cook on medium-low heat for 10 minutes.
Add tomatoes, stir together and cook for another 5 minutes, breaking up the tomatoes slightly.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In the meantime, cook angel hair according to package directions: it should only take about 2 minutes.
I like to add a little saffron to the pasta water for color and a little extra flavor, but just a pinch.
Drain pasta and add to zucchini mixture in the skillet; stir together briefly and serve with a few snips of oregano and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
