Step-by-Step Instructions for Tomato Zucchini Pasta
- Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water. Once boiling, add the fusilli pasta and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced zucchinis and sauté for 5-7 minutes until golden and tender.
- In the same skillet, add the cherry tomatoes, black pepper, fennel seed, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and vegetable broth. Cook covered for 5-7 minutes until tomatoes blister.
- Add the sautéed zucchini, drained fusilli, and parmesan cheese into the skillet. Stir gently for 2-3 minutes until cheese melts and coats the pasta.
- Serve immediately, drizzling with olive oil and garnishing with fresh basil or parsley leaves.

Notes
Cooking fusilli al dente enhances texture. Use fresh ingredients for best flavor. Adjust spices as preferred. Add vegetable broth to loosen sauce if necessary.
