If you've never tried zucchini, this is a great trial recipe.  It is mild flavored and has an interesting texture that plays well against pasta and tomatoes.
You can easily use angel hair, linguine, thin spaghetti, regular spaghetti, or even shaped pasta in this recipe.

Use red onion in place of yellow onion for a slight taste change and a burst of color.

Replace the parmesan cheese with romano cheese for a subtle taste change.
