Shrimp and Zucchini Fettuccini (Fettuccini a la Mare)
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 cup thinly sliced zucchini
1 cup sliced red bell pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup dry white wine
3/4 pound peeled shrimp

Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Place a large pot with 3 to 4 quarts of water on to boil for the pasta.
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the garlic, zucchini and red bell pepper. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until the vegetables start to soften. Add the pepper flakes and wine and bring to a boil for 1 minute. Add the shrimp and remove from the heat.
