Steps:

• Halve the zucchini lengthwise. Using a vegetable / potato peeler, peel long thin strands of zucchini (so that they somewhat resemble fettuccine). If desired, allow to sit at room temperature, uncovered, for a couple of hours -- this improves the texture of the zucchini.
• TO COOK THE ZUCCHINI:.
• Heat 4 cups of (salted) water to boiling. Cook the zucchini strands in the boiling water for one to two minutes, and then immediately rinse under cold running water to stop the cooking process.
• TO COOK THE OTHER VEGETABLES:.
• Put the mushrooms in a microwave-safe dish and cook on high until the mushrooms are soft, about five minutes. Repeat with the eggplant, adding it to the mushrooms so that it cooks in the mushroom's juices. Add the roasted peppers to the vegetables and microwave for one minute.
• In a large bowl, toss the zucchini with the rest of the vegetables and 3/4 c pasta sauce. Spoon onto serving plates and top with the remaining 1/4 c sauce.

Steps:

• In a large pot cook penne pasta in boiling salted water until al dente. Drain the pasta, leaving it slightly wet.

• To the skillet, add the sliced zucchini and yellow squash and saute for 2 minutes. Add chopped mushrooms and minced garlic and saute an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the chopped tomatoes and remove from heat.
• Dish pasta portions onto warmed plated. Add sauce to top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Heat a 13-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the oil. Add the mushrooms in batches and cook, stirring occasionally until golden brown before adding more mushrooms, 10 to 12 minutes total. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the garlic, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and the crushed red pepper flakes. Stir together.
• Add the coconut milk, water and nutritional yeast to the skillet. Stir together and taste for seasoning and add more salt or black pepper, if needed. Add the pasta and zucchini and stir, making sure the pasta is submerged in the liquid.
• Cover with the lid and simmer for 12 minutes, stirring every 3 to 4 minutes. Uncover and add the basil. Stir and simmer uncovered until the sauce has thickened and the pasta is al dente, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Scoop into small shallow bowls and top with more basil and black pepper.
