Instructions
- Place a medium–large saucepan over medium heat. Add the olive oil, zucchini, capsicum, garlic, cherry tomatoes and italian herbs and sauté for 5–6 minutes or until the veggies are caramelised and fragrant.
- Add the pasta sauce to the pan and stir through. Then add the dried pasta and water. Bring to the boil, partially cover the saucepan with a lid and turn the heat down to low. Simmer for 10–15 minutes until the pasta is just cooked and the sauce has thickened up a bit. Turn off the heat.
