Oven Roasted Zucchini

Another Pinspired recipe for today's Delicious Dish Tuesday!
I loved making this Oven Roasted Asparagus awhile back and thought I would give zucchini a try for a nice summer treat and it was tasty!!
Find original pin here.

Ingredients:

2-3 small/medium zucchinis

minced garlic

salt/pepper

olive oil

parmesan cheese

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

First cut zucchini in half lengthwise and then in half again.

Place some tin foil on a cookie sheet and arrange zucchini on it.

I am very bad at measuring when I am cooking but I just mixed everything but the parmesan cheese in a bowl to taste.

Then, I brushed it on the zucchini making sure to get most of the garlic that falls on to the slices.
Sprinkle on parmesan cheese.
Bake in pre-heated oven for 11-13 minutes.

Tortellini Sausage Soup

I mentioned when I posted a Ham and Potato Soup recipe that I LOVE soups and that still reigns true!! So, for this weeks recipe I will share with you one of my husband's favorite soups:

Tortellini Sausage Soup! 

 (This recipe was found on Pinterest and adapted from Lil' Luna with changes that I have made myself)

What you Need:

• 4 Links of Italian Sausage (I like to buy the Hot because I think it adds more flavor without a too much spicy)
• 4 tsp. minced garlic
• 4-6 cups of chicken broth or stock (the tortellini at the end soaks up a lot of the juice so you may want to add more!)
• 1 15 oz. can diced tomatoes (I like to buy the one with sweet onion in it, again for a little more flavor.)
• 1 8 oz. can tomato sauce 
• 1-1 1/2 cups chopped carrots
• 2 tsp dried basil
• 2 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 Tbsp parsley
• 1 16 oz pkg cheese tortellini (frozen or refrigerated)

Make It:

• Peel the skin off the sausage and slice sausage up. Brown in skillet. Then add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
• Transfer sausage and garlic (may want to drain the skillet) to a stockpot and add broth/stock, tomatoes, tomato sauce, carrots and spices (stir it all up!). Bring to a boil, turn down and simmer, covered for 30 minutes.
• Add tortellini and cook for 7-10 minutes longer.
• Top with parmesan and enjoy!!

The tortellini can really soak up a lot of the sauce so you may want to cook the tortellini separate and then add before enjoying. Or, you may want to add additional broth/stock, tomatoes and tomato sauce! I made this soup this weekend for a potluck at work so I made a double batch and then just kept it on keep warm in my crockpot. It is such a yummy, hearty soup!
