Ingredients:

1/4   cup           extra-virgin olive oil
1                   yellow onion
2                   garlic cloves
1/3   cup           oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
                    thinly sliced
2                   zucchini
                    lengthwise with a vegetable peeler
2     cups          baby arugula
4     ounces        goat cheese (ch�vre)
                    crushed red pepper flakes
                    Salt
                    Freshly-ground black pepper
8     ounces        fresh fettuccine

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat.
Meanwhile, in a large fry pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, for 1 minute. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion starts to caramelize, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, zucchini, arugula, the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, three-fourths of the goat cheese and the red pepper flakes to the bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Salt the boiling water, add the pasta and cook until al dente (tender but firm to the bite), 2 to 3 minutes. Drain well, add to the bowl with the vegetables and toss gently to combine.
Transfer to warmed pasta bowls and sprinkle with the remaining goat cheese. Serve immediately.
This recipe yields 2 servings.
Comments: This pasta dish combines the light, fresh flavors of spring, including tender zucchini and baby arugula. For a spicy kick, add a pinch or two of crushed red pepper flakes to the vegetable mixture.
