Directions
  1. Prepare pasta according to package directions, reserving 1/4 cup of pasta water for later use.
  2. Heat oil in a saucepan on medium-low. Cook oregano, garlic, and onion on medium heat until soft, approximately 3 minutes.
  3. Add tomatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring often. Use a fork to mash tomatoes to preferred texture. If desired, puree sauce in a blender.
  4. In a separate pan, sauté zucchini with grape tomatoes for 5 minutes.
  5. Toss pasta with zucchini-grape tomato mixture, sauce, and pasta water.
  6. Handy Hint: Salted pasta water and al dente noodles make for a restaurant-quality dish. Don’t overlook these simple steps. Plus, adding pasta water helps sauce bind to spaghetti.
