Pasta with ground meat, zucchini & tomatoes

is one of my favorite easy weeknight meals beside Spaghetti bolognese. I got this recipe from my mother in law last summer. She showed me a delicious way to eat up all the zucchini and tomatoes that’s overflowing from her garden. I just love this meal and make it very often. The sauce is so creamy and flavorful. It’s very simple to make and loaded with fresh veggies so you really can’t go wrong with this meal.

Note: You can use any type of ground meat and pasta.
