Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using whole grain linguine as it brings more fiber to the table. Feel free to swap out the cherry tomatoes with other seasonal veggies like bell peppers or spinach. You can also use gluten-free pasta if you need to avoid gluten.
Tips & Notes
- •I keep my fresh basil in water on the counter to keep it vibrant longer.
- •If you want an extra kick, a pinch of red pepper flakes adds a nice touch.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I’ll add a handful of spinach or kale right before serving for a pop of green and nutrients.
- •If I have some on hand, a squeeze of lemon juice brightens up the flavors beautifully.
Storage & Freezing
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. I like to reheat it gently on the stove with a splash of water to keep it moist.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of pasta?
Absolutely! Spaghetti or fettuccine would work just as well. Just adjust the cooking time based on the pasta type.

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.
- 2
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant—be careful not to burn it!
- 3
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until they start to burst and release their juices.
- 4
Stir in the zucchini and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until it’s tender but still has a bit of crunch.
- 5
Once the linguine is cooked, reserve about 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta.
- 6
Add the drained linguine to the skillet along with the chopped basil, salt, pepper, and nutritional yeast if using. Toss everything together, adding a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen it up if needed.
- 7
Serve immediately, garnished with extra basil and a sprinkle of nutritional yeast on top if desired.
