Ingredients:

• 1 pound linguine pasta
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium zucchini, diced
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional)
• 1 pound cod fillets, cut into 1-inch pieces

• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package directions. Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
