Pasta with Zucchini, Tomatoes, and Creamy Lemon-Yogurt Sauce

I LOVE vegetarian cooking. I always have. We've been doing a little bit more of it here and it has been delightful. Although, Lucy hasn't cared for it that much... even though she doesn't really like meat I think she's less fond of all those fresh veggies that she's been seeing on her plate lately. She's always good to try a bite or two, but she lets us know when she's ready for "Mac n' Cheese" or "Chicken Nuggets." (Don't worry we never give in). 

This is one recipe that I've already made twice and I love it. I love the fresh lemon flavor, I love the zucchini, I just love it. It also makes great leftovers. And I do make it with the whole wheat noodles. They taste really good as well. Please try this one. It will be worth your time.
