Ingredients:

8 ounces uncooked linguine
4 cups coarsely shredded zucchini (about 3 medium)
4 teaspoons Crisco® Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 cup fat-free plain yogurt
3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions:
Cook linguine according to package directions. In a sieve or colander, drain the zucchini, squeezing to remove excess liquid. Pat dry.

In a large nonstick skillet, saute zucchini in oil for 2 minutes. Add garlic; saute 1-2 minutes longer or until zucchini is tender. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the yogurt, cheese, salt and pepper. Drain linguine; add to zucchini mixture and toss to coat.

Yield: 6 servings.
